A Gram-positive short rod isolated from a saline soil in China was characterized using a polyphasic approach. This actinobacterium grew over a wide salinity range [0–15 % NaCl, 0–20 % KCl and 0–30 % MgCl2.6H2O (w/v); optimum concentrations for growth were 5 % NaCl, 5–10 % KCl, 10 % MgCl2.6H2O]. The optimum growth temperature and pH were 28–30 °C and 7·0–8·0, respectively. Chemotaxonomic features (peptidoglycan-type B2{beta} with glycolyl residues; major menaquinones MK-10 and MK-11; predominating iso- and anteiso-branched cellular fatty acids; DNA G+C content 66·5 mol%) placed this organism within the genus Microbacterium. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis confirmed this classification of the strain, but showed that it was distinct from its nearest neighbours. It formed a separate branch with type strains of the genus Microbacterium, and also shared low sequence similarity with them (<96 %). Based on phenotypic and molecular taxonomic results, it is proposed that the unknown isolate should be classified as a novel species in the genus Microbacterium, for which the name Microbacterium halotolerans sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YIM 70130T (=KCTC 19017T=CIP 108071T).

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain YIM 70130T is AY376165.

Detailed phenotypic characteristics and a phylogenetic dendrogram of strain YIM 70130T and other Microbacterium species are available as supplementary material in IJSEM Online.
