Three Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, motile actinobacterial strains designated as CPCC 205119 T , CPCC 205215, and CPCC 205251 were isolated from different biological soil crust samples collected from Tengger Desert, China. The 16S rRNA gene sequence comparison of these three strains showed they had almost identical 16S rRNA genes, which were closely related to members of the family  Geodermatophilaceae , with the highest similarities of 96.3–97.3% to the species of  Modestobacter . In the phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, these isolates clustered into a subclade next to the branch containing the species of  Modestobacter lapidis  and  Modestobacter multiseptatus , within the lineage of the genus  Modestobacter . The comparative genomic characteristics (values of ANI, dDDH, AAI, and POCP) and the phenotypic properties (morphological, physiological, and chemotaxonomic characteristics) of these isolates readily supported to affiliate them to the genus  Modestobacter  as a single separate species. For which, we proposed that the isolates CPCC 205119 T , CPCC 205215, and CPCC 205251 represent a novel species of the genus  Modestobacter  as  Modestobacter deserti  sp. nov. CPCC 205119 T  (=I12A-02624=NBRC 113528 T =KCTC 49201 T ) is the type strain. The genome of strain CPCC 205119 T  consisted of one chromosome (4,843,235bp) containing 4,424 coding genes, 48 tRNA genes, five rRNA genes, three other ncRNA genes, and 101 pseudogenes, with G+C content of 74.7%. The whole-genome sequences analysis indicated that this species contained alkaline phosphatase genes ( phoA / phoD ), phosphate transport-related genes ( phoU ,  phnC ,  phnD ,  phnE ,  phoB ,  phoH ,  phoP ,  phoR ,  pitH ,  ppk ,  pstA ,  pstB ,  pstC , and  pstS ), trehalose-phosphate synthase gene ( otsA ), trehalose 6-phosphate phosphatase gene ( otsB ) and other encoding genes for the properties that help the microorganisms to adapt to harsh environmental conditions prevalent in deserts. Strains of this species could solubilize tricalcium phosphate [Ca 3 (PO 4 ) 2 ] and phytin, assimilate pyrophosphate, thiophosphate, dithiophosphate, phosphoenol pyruvate, 2-deoxy- d -glucose-6-phosphate, and cysteamine-S-phosphate.
