Cell growth of strain NS-102T occurred at 16–42 °C (optimum, 30 °C), at pH 5.0–8.0 (optimum, pH 6.0) and in the presence of 0–3.5 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, without addition of NaCl). The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain NS-102T shows high similarity to that of Agriterribacter humi YJ03T (96.9 % similarity), followed by Terrimonas terrae T16R-129T (93.8 %) and Terrimonas pekingensis QHT (93.6 %). Average nucleotide identity, average amino acid identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridization values between the draft genomes of strain NS-102T and A. humi YJ03T were 72.5, 69.4 and 18.6%, respectively. The only respiratory quinone was MK-7, and phosphatidylethanolamine and unidentified lipids were the major polar lipids. The major cellular fatty acids of strain NS-102T contained high amounts of iso-C15 : 0 (24.6 %), iso-C17 : 03-OH (24.1 %), iso-C15 : 0 G (16.6 %) and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1  ω6c and/or C16 : 1  ω7c) (15.6 %). The G+C content of the total DNA was determined to be 40.0 mol%. The morphological, physiological, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic analyses clearly distinguished this strain from its closest phylogenetic neighbours. Thus, strain NS-102T represents a novel species of the genus Agriterribacter , for which the name Agriterribacter soli sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NS-102T (=CCTCC AB 2017249T=KCTC 62322T). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijsem.0.005436
