A Gram-stain-negative, pink-pigmented, aerobic, non-motile and rod-shaped bacterium, designated as strain H15 T , was isolated from Acmaea sp., collected from Weihai, Shandong Province, China. The novel isolate was able to grow at 4-37 °C (optimum 33 °C), pH 5.5-9.0 (optimum 7.0) and with 0.0-7.0% NaCl (optimum 4%, w/v). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons revealed that the strain belonged to the family Rhodobacteraceae and was associated to the type strain of Pseudaestuariivita atlantica (96.7%). Genome analysis showed that the genome size was 3,893,398 bp and the DNA G + C content obtained from the draft genome sequence was 56.7%. The secondary metabolites predicated that the strain H15 T  contained one cluster of lasso peptide, one cluster of bacteriocin, two clusters of terpene production, two clusters of homoserine lactone and one cluster of beta lactone. The average amino acid identity, average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values between genome sequences of strain H15 T  and all the related strains compared were lower than 63.1, 72.0 and 19.7%, respectively. Based on the analysis of chemical components, the predominant cellular fatty acids were summed featured 8 (C 18:1 ω7c/ω6c, 46.1%), C 20:1 ω7c (17.1%), the major polar lipids contained phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and an unidentified lipid and the predominant menaquinone was Q10. Therefore, the combined chemotaxonomic, phenotypic and phylogenetic data indicated that the strain was considered to represent a novel species of the genus Pseudaestuariivita and the name Pseudaestuariivita rosea sp. nov. was proposed for strain H15 T (MCCC 1K04420 T  = KCTC 82505 T ).
