A Gram-staining-positive, aerobic, rod-shaped (201802YP6) bacteria was isolated from soil, Northeast of China. Growth occurred at 10-40 °C (optimum 25-30 °C), at pH 6.0-8.0 (optimum 7.0) and at 0-2% NaCl. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, the nearest phylogenetic neighbors of strain 201802YP6 were identified as Bhargavaea cecembensis DSE10 (99.52%), Bhargavaea beijingensis ge10 (99.45%), Bhargavaea indica KJW98 (99.45%), Bhargavaea ullalensis ZMA19 (98.81%), and Bhargavaea ginsengi ge14 (98.76%). Levels of similarity among strain 201802YP6 and other Bhargavaea species were lower than 98.76%. GyrB amino acid sequence-based analysis supported the phylogenetic position and also distinguished strain 201802YP6 from the other species of the genus Bhargavaea. DNA-DNA hybridization values between strain 201802YP6 and B. cecembensis, B. beijingensis, B. indica, B. ullalensis, B. ginsengi were 43.5%, 43%, 32.5%, 30.5% and 20.4%, respectively. The DNA G + C content of strain 201802YP6 was 51.23 mol%. The average nucleotide identity (ANI) of the draft genome was 87.04% to B. cecembensis DSE10. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, glycolipids, phosphatidylethanolamine, and phosphatidyllipid. The predominant menaquinone was MK-8. The major fatty acids were iso-C (39.91%), anteiso-C (28.86%), anteiso-C (6.30%) and C (6.13%). On the basis of the phylogenetic analysis, chemotaxonomic data, physiological characteristics and DNA-DNA hybridization data, strain 201802YP6 represents a novel species of the genus Bhargavaea, for which the name Bhargavaea changchunensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 201802YP6 (= CGMCC 1.13508 = KCTC 33975).
