A red-pigmented bacterial strain, designated KIGAM108, within the family Hymenobacteraceae was isolated from zeolite in the Gampo-41 mine of the Gyeongju, Republic of Korea. This strain was a Gram-negative, strictly aerobic, non-spore forming, rod-shaped bacterium. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain KIGAM108 found that it was related to the genus Hymenobacter, with similarities of 96.6, 96.4, 95.5, and 95.0% to H. fastidiosus VUG-A124, H. algoricola VUG-A23a, H. crusticola MIMBbqt21, and H. daecheongensis DSM 21074, respectively. Strain KIGAM108 grew in the presence of 0-0.5% (w/v) NaCl at 4-37 °C and pH 6.0-10.0. This isolate contained MK-7 as a respiratory quinone. The polar lipids of strain KIGAM108 were identified as phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified aminophospholipids, one unidentified phospholipid and five unidentified lipids. The major fatty acids profile showed summed feature 3 (Cω6c and/or Cω7c) (22.3%), anteiso-C (17.1%), Cω5c (13.3%), and iso-C (11.0%). The genomic DNA G + C content was 60.0 mol%. Based on the polyphasic taxonomic data, strain KIGAM108 is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Hymenobacter, for which the name Hymenobacter lutimineralis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is KIGAM108 (=KCTC 72263 =JCM 33444).
