Actinomycete strain H9^T was isolated from coastal sediment of the Jiao-Dong peninsula (near Tsingdao city) in China, and was identified by means of polyphasic taxonomy. The strain grew autotrophically on modified nitrifying medium and heterotrophically on Luria–Bertani medium, with NaCl ranging from 0 to 8 % (w/v) (optimal growth at 3·5 %). The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities of strain H9^T to members of the genus Pseudonocardia ranged from 93·0 to 97·5 %, indicating that strain H9^T was phylogenetically related to members of the genus Pseudonocardia. Strain H9^T had type IV cell wall and type PIII phospholipid, and its major menaquinone was MK-8 (H₄). DNA–DNA relatedness values between strain H9^T and Pseudonocardia kongjuensis, Pseudonocardia autotrophica and Pseudonocardia compacta were 42, 13 and 11 %, respectively. These results support the conclusion that H9^T represents a novel species within the genus Pseudonocardia, for which the name Pseudonocardia ammonioxydans sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain H9^T (=CGMCC 4.1877^T=JCM 12462^T).

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain H9^T is AY500143.

A figure showing an electron micrograph of strain H9^T and tables showing ammonia oxidation of nitrite and nitrate and cellular fatty acid composition of strain H9^T are available as supplementary material in IJSEM Online.
