The optimal growth temperature of RYU5T was 30 °C. Phylogenetic analysis based on the sequences of housekeeping genes, including the 16S rRNA, rpoB, rpoD and gyrB genes, showed that RYU5T was a member of the Pseudomonas putida group and was located close to Pseudomonas monteilii and P. putida . Whole-genome comparisons, using average nucleotide identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridization, confirmed that strain RYU5T should be classified as a novel species of Pseudomonas . Phenotypic characterization tests showed that utilization of d-mannose, d-serine, l-arabinose and d-fructose could distinguish this strain from other related species of the genus Pseudomonas . Based on genetic and phenotypic evidence, strain RYU5T should be classified as a novel species, for which the name Pseudomonas asiatica sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is RYU5T (=DSM 107182T, =JCM 32716T), with a DNA G+C content of 62.25 mol%. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijsem.0.003316
