Strain F-278,770T was oxidase- and catalase-positive, aerobic, with a respiratory type of metabolism with oxygen as the terminal electron acceptor, non-spore-forming and motile by one polar flagellum, although some cells had two polar flagella. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA, gyrB, rpoB and rpoD genes revealed that strain F-278,770T belongs to the Pseudomonas koreensis subgroup (Pseudomonas fluorescens lineage), with Pseudomonas moraviensis , P. koreensis , P. baetica and P. helmanticensis as its closest relatives. Chemotaxonomic traits such as polar lipid and fatty acid compositions and G+C content of genomic DNA corroborated the placement of strain F-278,770T in the genus Pseudomonas . DNA–DNA hybridization assays and phenotypic traits confirmed that this strain represents a novel species of the genus Pseudomonas , for which the name Pseudomonas granadensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is F-278,770T ( = DSM 28040T = LMG 27940T). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.069260-0
