Popis: Two morphologically similar halophilic strains, named USBA 874 and USBA 960T, were isolated from water and sediment samples collected from the Zipaquirá salt mine in the Colombian Andes. Both isolates had non-spore-forming, Gram-stain-negative and motile cells that grew aerobically. The strains grew optimally at 30 °C, pH 7.0 and with 25 % NaCl (w/v). The isolates showed almost identical 16S rRNA gene sequences (99.0 % similarity). The predominant quinones of USBA-960T were Q-8, Q-7 and Q-9. The major cellular fatty acids were C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c, C18 : 0 and C16 : 0. According to 16S rRNA gene sequencing, the closest phylogenetic relatives are Salinisphaera species (similarity between 93.6 and 92.3 %), Abyssibacter profundi OUC007T (88.6 %) and Oceanococcus atlanticus 22II-S10r2T (88.7 %). In addition, the result of genome blast distance phylogeny analysis between strains USBA 874 and USBA 960T, Salinisphaera halophila (YIM 95161T), Salinisphaera shabanensis (E1L3AT), Salinisphaera orenii (MK-B5T) and Salinisphaera japonica (YTM-1T) was 18.5 %. Other in silico species delineation analyses also showed low identity such as ANIb and ANIm values (T revealed a genome size of 2.47 Mbp and a G+C content of 59.71 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis of strains USBA 874 and USBA 960T indicated that they formed a different lineage within the family Salinisphaeraceae . Based on phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics, phylogenetic analysis and DNA–DNA relatedness values, along with identity at whole genome level, it can be concluded that strains USBA 960T and USBA 874 represent a novel genus of the family Salinisphaeraceae and the name Salifodinibacter halophilus gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is USBA 960T (CMPUJ U095T=CECT 30006T).
