Cells of strain M10.9XT were rod-shaped and occasionally formed aggregates. The strain was oxidase-negative and catalase-positive, and showed a slightly psychrophilic, neutrophilic and slightly halophilic metabolism. The phylogenetic analyses revealed that strain M10.9XT was closely related to Sagittula stellata E-37T and Sagittula marina F028-2T. The genomic G+C content of strain M10.9XT was 65.2 mol%. The average nucleotide identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridization values were 76.6 and 20.9 %, respectively, confirming its adscription to a new species within the genus Sagittula . The major cellular fatty acids were C18 : 1  ω7c/C18 : 1  ω6c and C16 : 0. The polar lipids consisted of phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, an unidentified aminolipid, an unidentified glycolipid, an unidentified phospholipid and an unidentified lipid. According to the resuts of a polyphasic study, strain M10.9XT represents a novel species of the genus Sagittula for which the name Sagittula salina sp. nov. (type strain M10.9XT=DSM 112301T=CECT 30307T) is proposed., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijsem.0.005240
