Cells of the strain were Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped and motile. Optimum growth occurred at 30 °C, at pH 7.0 and with 1.0 % (w/v) NaCl. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, phylogenetic analysis revealed that strain CAU 1612T belonged to the genus Sneathiella and showed highest similarity to ‘Sneathiella litorea’ JCM 33810T (98.5 %), followed by Sneathiella chungangensis KCTC 32476T (97.7 %), Sneathiella aquimaris KCTC 12842T (96.0 %), Sneathiella chinensis LMG 23452T (95.5 %), Sneathiella limimaris KCTC 52846T (95.5 %) and Sneathiella glossodoripedis KCTC 12842T (95.4 %). The average nucleotide identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridization values of strain CAU 1612T were estimated to be 68.5–81.7 % and ≤23.7 %, respectively, to members of the genus Sneathiella . The DNA G+C content was 54.1 mol%. The major cellular fatty acids (>10 %) were C16:0, C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c and summed feature 8 (C18 : 1  ω7c and/or C18 : 1  ω6c). The major menaquinone was Q-10 and the predominant polar lipids were phosphatidylmethylethanolamine, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylglycerol. On the basis of taxonomic evidence, strain CAU 1612T represents a novel species, for which the name Sneathiella sedimenti sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CAU 1612T (=KCTC 82427T=MCCC 1K06082T). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijsem.0.005218
