A novel psychrophilic, Gram-positive, yellow-pigmented and aerobic bacterium, strain 0543^T, was isolated from the China No. 1 glacier. Strain 0543^T was able to grow at 4–23 °C, with optimum growth at 18–19 °C. The major fatty acids were anteiso-C_{15 : 0} (58.36 %), iso-C_{16 : 0} (21.13 %), iso-C_{14 : 0} (10.25 %) and anteiso-C_{17 : 0} (7.16 %). The genomic DNA G+C content was 63.5 mol% and the major menaquinone was MK-10. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain 0543^T represented a lineage within the family Microbacteriaceae, with the highest similarity of 97.4 % with Salinibacterium amurskyense KMM 3673^T. On the basis of polyphasic, chemotaxonomic, physiological and biochemical evidence from this study, the novel species Salinibacterium xinjiangense sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is 0543^T(=CGMCC 1.5381^T =JCM 13926^T).

Micrographs of strain 0543^T and a comparison of its fatty acid profile with those of phylogenetic relatives are available as supplementary material with the online version of this paper.
