Two novel Gram- positive, rod shaped, halotolerent bacteria, strains JG 03T and JG 05 were isolated from the rhizosphere of Salicornia brachiata, an extreme halophyte. Comparative analyses of 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that they were closely related to members of the genus Zhihengliuella with sequence similarity of 96.9-99.1 %. Sequence similarity of strains JG 03T and JG 05 was 99.4 % with each other. DNA-DNA hybridization of JG 03T and JG 05 with other known species of Zhihengliuella showed reassociation value of 19.8% -53.4% and 91.4% in between themselves. The peptidoglycan type of both strains was A4α and MK-9 and MK-10 were predominant menaquinones. The predominant fatty acid in JG 03T was anteiso-C15:0 and anteiso-C17:0. However, iso-C15:0, anteiso-C15:0 and anteiso-C17:0 were the major fatty acid in strain JG 05. The DNA G+C content of strains JG 03T and JG 05 was 70.0 and 70.1 mol%, respectively. In nutrient broth medium both strains grew at NaCl concentrations up to 15% (w/v). On the basis of chemotaxonomic characteristics and phylogenetic analyses, strains JG 03T and JG 05 should be affiliated to the genus Zhihengliuella. Strains JG 03T and JG 05 represent a novel species of the genus Zhihengliuella, for which the names Zhihengliuella somnathii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is JG 03T ( =DSM 23187T =IMCC 253T ).
