A Gram-stain-negative, crescent-shaped, non-motile, aerobic bacterium was isolated from a saltern at Nari along the Bhavnagar coast, Gujarat, India. The strain designated JC344(T) was oxidase- and catalase-positive. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and sequence comparison data indicated that JC344T represented a member of the genus Lunatimonas and was closely related to the only species of the genus, Lunatimonas lonarensis AK24(T) (95.5 %). The DNA G+C content of JC344(T) was 43 mol%. JC344(T) has phosphatidylethanolannine (PE) and four unidentified polar lipids. MK-7 is the only respiratory quinone. The major (>10%) fatty acids of strain JC344(T) are iso-C-15 : 0, anteiso-C-15 : 0 and summed feature 9 (iso-C-17 :1 omega 9c and/or C-16 : 0 10-methyl). On the basis of physiological, genotypic, phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic analyses, we conclude that JC344(T) represents a novel species of the genus Lunatimonas, for which the name Lunatimonas salinarum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is JC344(T) (=KCTC 42988(T)=LMG 29259(T)).
