The taxonomic status of this strain was evaluated by using a polyphasic approach. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain HL22-2T was related to members of the genus Pseudomonas . 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities between strain HL22-2T and Pseudomonas xanthomarina KMM 1447T, Pseudomonas alcaliphila AL15-21T and Pseudomonas stutzeri ATCC 17588T were 98.9, 98.10 % and 98.06 %, respectively. The major cellular fatty acids were C18 : 1ω7c, C16 : 0 and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1ω6c). The DNA G+C content was 60.3 mol%. On the basis of phenotypic characteristics, phylogenetic analysis and DNA–DNA relatedness values, strain HL22-2T represents a novel species of the genus Pseudomonas , for which the name Pseudomonas kunmingensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is HL22-2T ( = CGMCC 1.12273T = DSM 25974T).", }
