Strain XM-003^T was isolated from a soil sample that originated from the Ximo region in Tibet. Cells of strain XM-003^T were Gram-negative-staining, non-motile, irregular-shaped rods and the strain grew optimally at 28 °C and grew at pH 5–8. It contained MK-7 as the major isoprenoid quinone and iso-C_{15 : 0} and C_{16 : 1}7c and/or iso-C_{15 : 0} 2-OH as the major fatty acids. Flexirubin-type pigments were absent. The DNA G+C content was 43.4 mol%. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of this strain showed the highest sequence similarity of 96.0 % to Mucilaginibacter kameinonensis SCK^T. A number of physiological biochemical tests and chemotaxonomic markers indicate that strain XM-003^T represents a novel species of the genus Mucilaginibacter, for which the name Mucilaginibacter ximonensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is XM-003^T (=CCTCC AB 207094^T =KCTC 22437^T).

Additional differential characteristics of strain XM-003^T and M. kameinonensis SCK^T are available as supplementary material with the online version of this paper.
