A Gram-negative, rod-shaped, aerobic and light pink-pigmented bacterium, designated XAAS-A31T , was isolated from the soil of a Populus euphratica forest located near Hotan City, Xinjiang, PR China. Polyphasic, taxonomic and phylogenomic analyses were used to determine the taxonomy position of the strain. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that XAAS-A31T belongs to the genus Pontibacter , family Hymenobacteraceae , and shows highest sequence similarity to Pontibacter silvestris XAAS-R86T (96...
