  abstract = {{T}wo strains of anaerobic, coccoid, saccharolytic, {G}ram-stain-negative bacteria were isolated from samples of anoxic hypersaline sediments of evaporation ponds in {T}avira ({P}ortugal) and {M}allorca ({S}pain). {B}oth isolates were moderately halophilic, neutrophilic and had a temperature optimum at 37 degrees {C}. {T}he highest 16{S} r{RNA} gene sequence identity values were found with members of the genus {S}edimentisphaera (84.9-88.2%) within the order {S}edimentisphaerales, class {P}hycisphaerae. {T}he strain {SM}-{C}hi-{D}1({T}) could be assigned to the family {S}edimentisphaeraceae, while phylogenetic analyses based on 16{S} r{RNA} gene sequences and genomic data indicate that strain {ST}-{NAGAB}-{D}1({T}) is both a member of a novel genus and a novel family. {SM}-{C}hi-{D}1({T}) could be distinguished from other cultured members of the {S}edimentisphaeraceae mainly by the stimulatory effect of sulfur on growth, lack of ethanol production during fermentation and several differences in the cellular fatty acids and polar lipids patterns. {M}ain differential characteristics of {ST}-{NAGAB}-{D}1({T}) were a polytrichous flagellation, the absence of branched chain fatty acids and presence of large proportions of the unsaturated cellular fatty acids {C}-16:1 c9 and {C}-18:1 c11. {O}n the basis of genomic, chemotaxonomic, biochemical and physiological data, we propose the novel species and genera {A}naerohalosphaera lusitana gen. nov., sp. nov., and {L}imihaloglobus sulfuriphilus gen. nov., sp. nov., represented by the type strains {ST}-{NAGAB}-{D}1({T}) (={DSM} 103484({T})={JCM} 31926({T})={KCTC} 15600({T})) and {SM} {C}hi-{D}1({T}) (={DSM} 100118({T})={JCM} 31927({T})={KCTC} 15601({T})), respectively. {I}n addition, we propose the novel family {A}naerohalosphaeraceae fam. nov. to accommodate the genus {A}naerohalosphaera.},
