Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that strain N18T represented a distinct lineage in the clade consisting of the genus Kordiimonas . Strain N18T was found to grow at 10–37 °C (optimum 28 °C), pH 6.0–8.0 (optimum 7.0) and with 1.0–4.0 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum 2.5 %). The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 55.3 mol%. The major cellular fatty acids were identified as summed feature 3 (comprising iso-C15 : 0 2-OH/C16 : 1 ω7c), iso-C17 : 1 ω9c and iso-C15 : 0. The polar lipid profile of N18T consisted of phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol, an unidentified glycolipid, an unidentified aminoglycolipid, an unidentified aminophospholipid and five unidentified lipids. The respiratory quinone was Q-10. Based on chemotaxonomic, morphological and physiological properties, strain N18T could be distinguished from its closest phylogenetic neighbours. Thus, we propose Kordiimonas pumila sp. nov., the type strain is N18T (=MCCC 1K03436T=KCTC 62164T). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijsem.0.002740
