A Gram-negative, strictly aerobic, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped, red–pink bacterium, designated strain PB17T, was isolated from grass soil in the Republic of Korea and its taxonomic position was investigated by means of a polyphasic approach. Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain PB17T belonged to the genus Hymenobacter. Sequence similarities between strain PB17T and the type strains of Hymenobacter species with validly published names ranged from 90.1 to 91.8 %. The predominant cellular fatty acids in strain PB17T were iso-C15 : 0, summed feature 4 (iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and/or C16 : 1{omega}7c), C16 : 1{omega}5c and anteiso-C15 : 0. The DNA G+C content was 58.8 mol%. The results of phylogenetic, chemotaxonomic and phenotypic characterization indicated that strain PB17T can be distinguished from all known Hymenobacter species and represents a novel species, for which the name Hymenobacter soli sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is PB17T (=KCTC 12607T =LMG 24240T).

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain PB17T is AB251884.
