Abstract A novel Gram-stain-negative, light pink-coloured, short rod-shaped, designated strain W17T, was isolated from a meadow soil sample collected from Xinjiang, PR China. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain W17T was related most closely to Skermanella rosea M1T (98.72 %) and Skermanella mucosa 8-14-6T (98.44 %). However, strain W17T showed a low level of DNA-DNA relatedness to S. rosea M1T (32.4±2.6 %) and S. mucosa 8-14-6T (33.5±0.1 %). The genome size of the novel strain was 5.87 Mb and the genomic DNA G+C content was 67.27 mol%. The only respiratory quinone of strain W17T was Q-10. Diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol. phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine were the major polar lipids. The predominant cellular fatty acids were C18 : 1ω6c and/or C18 : 1ω7c (48.53 %), C16 : 0 (20.88 %) and C18 : 0 (14.92 %). The phylogenetic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic data showed that strain W17T represents a novel species of the genus Skermanella, for which the name Skermanella pratensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is W17T (=GDMCC 1.1392T=KCTC 62434T).
