The strain grew at 10–40 °C (optimum at 30 °C) and with 0–12 % (w/v, optimum 2 %) NaCl. It reduced nitrate to nitrite but did not hydrolyse gelatin, starch or Tween 80. Analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain P-50-3T clustered tightly with the genus Albimonas and shared the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (94.3 %) with the type strain of Albimonas donghaensis . The major respiratory quinone was Q-10 and the major cellular fatty acids were C18 : 1ω7c, C18 : 0, 11-methyl C18 : 1ω7c and C16 : 0. Polar lipids included phosphatidylglycerol (PG), phosphatidylcholine (PC), two unidentified aminolipids and an unidentified lipid. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain P-50-3T was 69.0 mol%. On the basis of the data obtained in this polyphasic study, strain P-50-3T represents a novel species within the genus Albimonas , for which the name Albimonas pacifica sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Albimonas pacifica is P-50-3T ( = KACC 16527T = CGMCC 1.11030T). An emended description of the genus Albimonas Lim et al. 2008 is also proposed. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.049742-0
