Strain ZXM137T was strictly aerobic and did not accumulate poly-β-hydroxybutyrate. Growth occurred with 0.5–11.0 % (w/v) NaCl, at pH 6–9 (optimum of pH 7) and at 4–45 °C (optimum at 28 °C). It contained Q-10 as the predominant ubiquinone and the major polar lipids were phosphatidylglycerol, phospholipids, and an unidentified aminolipid and lipid. The major cellular fatty acids of strain ZXM137T were C18 : 1ω7c, C18 : 1ω6c and 11-methyl C18 : 1ω7c. The DNA G+C content was 60.1 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain ZXM137T formed a distinct evolutionary lineage within the Roseobacter group in the class Alphaproteobacteria. On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic evidence, strain ZXM137T represents a novel species in a new genus, for which the name Huaishuia halophila gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is ZXM137T ( = CGMCC 1.8891T = LMG 24854T)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.025536-0
