Cells were Gram-negative, aerobic, non-motile, cream-coloured, mesophilic and slightly halotolerant. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that the organism was a member of the genus Pseudomonas, but the sequence showed ⩽96.3 % sequence similarity to that of the type strains of all recognized Pseudomonas species. Highest sequence similarities were to Pseudomonas brenneri CFML 97-391T (96.3 %) and Pseudomonas migulae CIP 105470T (96.3 %). The major fatty acids were summed feature 3 and C16 : 0, with lesser amounts of C12 : 0, C12 : 0 3-OH, C18 : 1ω7c and C14 : 0. The major isoprenoid quinone was Q-9. The DNA G+C content was 64.0 mol%. The phylogenetic, phenotypic and genetic properties of strain H3-R18T suggest that it represents a novel species, for which the name Pseudomonas pohangensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is H3-R18T (=KACC 11517T=DSM 17875T)., language=, type=
