Strain MS-3T grew at 4–30 °C, at pH 6.0–9.5 and with 0–5 % NaCl and was oxidase- and catalase-positive. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain MS-3T was most similar to Pseudomonas marincola KMM 3042T (97.9 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), P. cuatrocienegasensis 1NT (97.8 %), P. borbori R-20821T (97.3 %) and P. lundensis ATCC 49968T (97.1 %). Relatively low levels of DNA–DNA relatedness were found between strain MS-3T and P. cuatrocienegasensis LMG 24676T (57.2 %), P. borbori LMG 23199T (39.7 %), P. marincola KMM 3042T (32.2 %) and P. lundensis KACC 10832T (32.1 %), which support the classification of strain MS-3T within a novel species of the genus Pseudomonas. The G+C content of the genomic DNA of strain MS-3T was 57.6 mol% and the major isoprenoid quinone was Q-9. Strain MS-3T contained summed feature 3 (iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and/or C16 : 1 ω7c; 38.0 %), C16 : 0 (24.4 %), C18 : 1 ω7c (12.8 %), C12 : 0 (9.6 %) and C10 : 0 3-OH (4.9 %) as the major cellular fatty acids. On the basis of the phenotypic, genotypic and phylogenetic data, strain MS-3T represents a novel species of the genus Pseudomonas, for which the name Pseudomonas taeanensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is MS-3T (=KCTC 22612T =KACC 14032T =JCM 16046T =NBRL 105641T).", }
