Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence reveals that strain 9AT belongs to the genus Hymenobacter and shows the highest similarity to Hymenobacter coccineus CCM 8649T (96.8 %). The DNA G+C content based on the draft genome sequence is 64.9 mol%. Strain 9AT is strictly aerobic, psychrophilic, catalase-positive, oxidase-positive and non-motile. Growth is observed at 0–20 °C (optimum 10 °C), pH 6.0–8.0 (optimum pH 7.0), and in the absence of NaCl. The predominant menaquinone of strain 9AT is MK-7 and the major fatty acids comprise Summed Feature 3 (C16 : 1  ω7c and/or C16 : 1  ω6c; 25.2 %), iso-C15 : 0 (23.2 %), C16 : 1  ω5c (11.6 %), Summed Feature 4 (anteiso-C17 : 1 B/iso-C17 : 1 I) (9.6 %) and anteiso-C15 : 0 (9.6 %). The polar lipid profile consists of the major lipid phosphatidylethanolamine and moderate to minor amounts of phosphatidylserine, unidentified aminolipids, aminophospholipids, aminophosphoglycolipids, polar lipids lacking a functional group and an unidentified phospholipid and a glycolipid. In the polyamine pattern sym-homospermidine is predominant. On the basis of the results obtained, strain 9AT is proposed as a novel species of the genus Hymenobacter , for which the name Hymenobacter caeli sp. nov. is suggested. The type strain is 9AT (=CCM 8971T=LMG 32109T=DSM 111653T).", }
