The crude-oil-degrading strain BAS3^T represents a novel Nocardioides species, according to a taxonomic study. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain BAS3^T was most similar to that of Nocardioides ganghwensis (IMSNU 14028^T; 99 % similarity), but the DNA–DNA relatedness to this type strain was only 32 %. The physiological properties of strain BAS3^T differ from those of N. ganghwensis (IMSNU 14028^T) and other species of Nocardioides. The diamino acid in the cell-wall peptidoglycan of strain BAS3^T is LL-diaminopimelic acid and the major menaquinone is MK-8(H₄). The name Nocardioides oleivorans sp. nov. is proposed for the novel Nocardioides species, since its type strain, BAS3^T (=DSM 16090^T=NCIMB 14004^T), is able to degrade crude oil.

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain BAS3^T is AJ698724.

A phylogenetic tree for strain BAS3^T along with a table of its whole-cell fatty acid composition are available as supplementary material in IJSEM Online.
