Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain XH274T belonged to the genus Nocardioides and shared the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Nocardioides kribbensis KSL-2T (96.81 %), Nocardioides daedukensis MDN22T (96.74 %) and Nocardioides psychrotolerans RHLT2-1T (96.61 %). The DNA G+C content of strain XH274T was 74.6 mol%. The cell wall of strain XH274T contained ll-2,6-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid, and ribose, glucose, galactose and mannose as the major whole-cell sugars. The major fatty acids were iso-C16 : 0, C18 : 1ω9c and C17 : 1ω8c. The major respiratory quinone was menaquinone-8(H4). The major polar lipids were phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol and two unknown phospholipids. On the basis of data from the polyphasic analysis, strain XH274T is considered to represent a novel species in the genus Nocardioides , for which the name Nocardioides pacificus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is XH274T ( = DSM 27278T = JCM 19260T). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.059873-0
