Strain BY-1T grew optimally at pH 7.0 and 30–35 °C in the presence of 0.5 % (w/v) NaCl. Analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain BY-1T fell within the radiation of the genus Pseudomonas , and showed highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities to Pseudomonas luteola IAM 13000T (99.5 %) and Pseudomonas duriflava HR2T (97.3 %); the levels of sequence similarity with respect to other recognized species of the genus Pseudomonas were <96.7 %. Strain BY-1T showed low DNA–DNA relatedness values with Pseudomonas luteola IAM 13000T (29±3.1 %) and Pseudomonas duriflava HR2T (21±1.5 %). The G+C content of the genomic DNA of strain BY-1T was 55.3 mol%. The major fatty acids were C18 : 1, C16 : 0 and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω6c and/or C16 : 1ω7c). Major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine, and the major ubiquinone was Q-9. Data obtained in this study indicated that this isolate represents a novel species of the genus Pseudomonas , for which the name Pseudomonas zeshuii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is BY-1T ( = KACC 15471T = ACCC 05688T). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.037796-0
