Abstract Two novel strains, ­BT213T and ­BT327T, were isolated from the soil collected in Uijeongbu city, Korea. Cells of strains were Gram negative, aerobic, and non-motile. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strains ­BT213T and ­BT327T formed two distinct lineages within the family Hymenobacteraceae (order Cytophagales, class Cytophagia). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain ­BT213T and ­BT327T belonged to the genus Pontibacter. Strain ­BT213T showed the highest similarities of 97.8% with Pontibacter deserti ­JC215T. Strain ­BT327T showed the highest sequence similarity of 96.5% with Pontibacter mucosus ­PB3T. Optimal growth occurred at 25 °C, pH 7, and in the absence of NaCl. The major cellular fatty acid of strains B ­ T213T and B ­ T327T were iso-C15:0 and T T summed feature 4 (iso-C17:1 I/anteiso-C17:1 B). Strains B ­ T213 and ­BT327 had MK-7 as major respiratory quinone and phosphatidylethanolamine as major polar lipids. The genome size of strains B ­ T213T and ­BT327T were 4,072,018 bp and T 4,314,171 bp, respectively. The genomic G + C mol% of strains ­BT213 and ­BT327T are 45.6% and 46.1%, respectively. Based on biochemical, chemotaxonomic, and phylogenetic analysis, two novel species Pontibacter fetidus ­BT213T (KCTC ­72345T = NBRC ­114379T) and Pontibacter burrus ­BT327T (KCTC 7­ 2412T = NBRC ­114376T) are proposed as type strains.

Introduction The genus Pontibacter is a member of the family Hymenobacteraceae in the phylum Bacteroidetes. Pontibacter was first proposed by Nedashkovskaya et al. (2005) and amended by Wang et al. (2010). The genus Pontibacter contains 32 species (https​://www.bacte​r io.net/ponti​bacte​r). The type Communicated by Erko stackebrandt.

species of Pontibacter is P. actiniarum (Nedashkovskaya et al. 2005). Species in the genus Pontibacter have been isolated from various places such as a desert (Subhash et al. 2014; Xu et al. 2012; Zhou et al. 2007), deep-sea sediment (Wu et al. 2016), pond sediment (Nayyar et al. 2016), and forest (Xu et al. 2012). In the course of screening novel bacterial species
