A comparative analysis o-f 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain HN4T fell within the genus Falsochrobactrum , forming a clear cluster with the type strain of Falsochrobactrum ovis , with which it exhibited a 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity value of 98.2 %. Strain HN4T grew optimally at pH 7.0, 30–35 °C and in the presence of 1 % (w/v) NaCl. It was positive for oxidase activity. Chemotaxonomic analysis showed that strain HN4T contained ubiquinone-10 as the predominant respiratory quinone and possessed summed feature 8(C18 : 1ω7c and/or C18 : 1ω6c) and C19 : 0cyclo ω8c as predominant fatty acids. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylcholine. The DNA G+C content was 56.9 mol%. Strain HN4T exhibited a DNA–DNA relatedness level of 18±1 % with Falsochrobactrum ovis CCM 8460T. Based on the data obtained in this study, strain HN4T represents a novel species of the genus Falsochrobactrum , for which the name Falsochrobactrum shanghaiense sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is HN4T (=JCM 32785T=CCTCC AB 2018063T).", }
