A novel strain, designated K23C18032701T, was isolated from a sample of forest soil collected from Dinghushan Biosphere Reserve, Guangdong Province, PR China. The strain was Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, motile and showed a shape change from a filamentous cell to coccobacilli. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the novel strain belongs to the family Chitinophagaceae , and showed the highest similarities to Arvibacter flaviflagrans JCM 31293T (95.0 %) and Filimonas aurantiibacter LMG 29039T (94.4 %). The major cellular fatty acids included iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH and iso-C15 : 1 G. The predominant polar lipid was phosphatidylethanolamine (PE). The predominant respiratory quinone was menaquinone-7. The major polyamine was sym-homospermidine. The draft genome size of strain K23C18032701T was 5.84 Mb with a DNA G+C content of 47.2 mol%. Based on phenotypic, genotypic and phylogenetic analysis, strain K23C18032701T represents a novel species of a new genus in the family Chitinophagaceae , for which the name Deminuibacter soli is proposed. The type strain is K23C18032701T (=GDMCC 1.1403T=KCTC 62913T). We also propose the reclassification of Filimonas aurantiibacter as Arvibacter aurantiibacter comb. nov. (type strain 1458T=NRRL B-65305T=LMG 29039T).
