Two bacterial strains, designated as 1-4-3T and 1-4-4, were isolated from a mangrove sediment cultured with coastal seawater. The cells were Gram-stain-negative, motile, short, rod-shaped bacteria with flagella. Growth occurred at 4–37 °C, pH 7.0–9.0, and 0–7% NaCl. The predominant fatty acids of the novel strains were C18 : 1 ω7c, C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c, C18 : 0, and C16 : 0. A phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and whole genome phylogeny analysis based on distance matrix revealed an affiliation between the two strains and the genus Aureimonas , with closest sequence similarity to A. populi 4M3-2T (96.41 and 96.64% similarity, respectively) and A. glaciistagni (96.01 and 96.23% similarity, respectively). The DNA G+C content of strain 1-4-3T was 66.80 mol%. Strain 1-4-3T displayed low DNA–DNA relatedness to A. populi 4M3-2T, with an average nucleotide identity value of 77.47 % and digital DNA–DNA hybridization value of 22.83 %. Genotypic, chemotaxonomic, and phenotypic data indicate that strains 1-4-3T and 1-4-4 represent a novel species of the genus Aureimonas , for which we propose the name Aureimonas mangrovi sp. nov. The type strain is 1-4-3T (=LMG 31693T=CGMCC 1.18507T).
