YIM B00359 T , a novel bacterial strain was isolated from the saline soil of Turpan city in Xinjiang province, north–west China. The strain was Gram-stain-positive, motile, aerobic, produced oval subterminal endospores in swollen sporangia. The whole-cell hydrolysates contain meso -diaminopimelic acid as the cell-wall diamino acid, with xylose, glucose, and ribose as the major whole-cell sugars. The phospholipids are diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, unidentified phospholipids, unidentified glycolipids, and one unidentified glycophospholipid. The predominant menaquinone is MK-7. The major fatty acids are anteiso-C 15:0 , iso-C 14:0 , iso-C 15:0 , and iso-C 16:0 . The DNA G + C content of the type strain is 37.5 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the isolate belongs to the genus Oceanobacillus . However, it differed from its closest relatives, Oceanobacillus halophilus DSM 23996  T and Oceanobacillus senegalensis Marseille-P3587 T in many physiological and chemotaxonomic characteristics. Based on comparative analysis of polyphasic taxonomic data, strain YIM B00359 T represents a novel species of the genus Oceanobacillus , for which the name Oceanobacillus salinisoli sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YIM B00359 T (= CGMCC 1.17509 T  = KCTC 43185 T ).
