Strain MA-69T was found to be short rod-shaped, Gram-stain-negative, non-spore-forming, aerobic and motile by means of a monopolar flagellum. According to phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, strain MA-69T was assigned to the genus Pseudomonas with highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 97.5 % to Pseudomonas azotifigens JCM 12708T, followed by Pseudomonas matsuisoli JCM 30078T (97.5 %), Pseudomonas balearica DSM 6083T (97.1 %), Azotobacter salinestris ATCC 49674T (96.1 %) and Pseudomonas indica DSM 14015T (95.9 %). Analysis of strain MA-69T based on the three housekeeping genes, rpoB, rpoD and gyrB, further confirmed the isolate to be distinctly delineated from species of the genus Pseudomonas . The DNA G+C content of strain MA-69T was 64.1 mol%. DNA–DNA hybridization with Pseudomonas azotifigens JCM 12708T, Pseudomonas matsuisoli JCM 30078T and Pseudomonas balearica DSM 6083T revealed 62.9, 60.1 and 49.0 % relatedness, respectively. The major fatty acids in strain MA-69T were summed feature 3 (25.7 %), summed feature 8 (24.0 %), C19 : 0cyclo ω8c (19.9 %), C16 : 0 (14.6 %) and C12 : 0 (6.3 %). The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and diphosphatidylglycerol. Q-9 was the major quinone in strain MA-69T. Based on phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic properties, strain MA-69T represents a novel species of the genus Pseudomonas , for which the name Pseudomonas tarimensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is MA-69T (=CCTCC AB 2013065T=KCTC 42447T)., language=, type=
