Zusammenfassung: <jats:p>A taxonomic study was performed on strain YIM 31775<jats:sup>T</jats:sup>, which was isolated from a soil sample collected from Yunnan Province, China. The isolate was chemo-organotrophic, aerobic and Gram-negative. Cells were short rods and motile, with one or more polar flagella. Growth temperature and pH ranged from 4 to 55 °C and 6·5 to 12·0, respectively; the optimum growth temperature and pH were 28–37 °C and 7·0–9·0, respectively. Q-8 was the predominant respiratory lipoquinone. The major fatty acids were C<jats:sub>16 : 1</jats:sub> <jats:italic>ω</jats:italic>7<jats:italic>c</jats:italic> (42·4 %) and C<jats:sub>16 : 0</jats:sub> (28·1 %). The DNA G+C content was 62·4±0·3 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that strain YIM 31775<jats:sup>T</jats:sup> should be placed within the family ‘O<jats:italic>xalobacteraceae</jats:italic>’, in which it formed a distinct lineage. Based on the high 16S rRNA gene sequence divergence and phenotypic characteristics, it is proposed that strain YIM 31775<jats:sup>T</jats:sup> should be classified as representing a novel member of the family ‘O<jats:italic>xalobacteraceae</jats:italic>’, for which the name <jats:italic>Naxibacter alkalitolerans</jats:italic> gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YIM 31775<jats:sup>T</jats:sup> (=CCTCC AA 204003<jats:sup>T</jats:sup>=KCTC 12194<jats:sup>T</jats:sup>).</jats:p>
