The taxonomic position of strain SD29T, isolated from soil, was clarified using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. The organism produced an elementary branching mycelium which fragmented into rod/coccus-shaped elements and it possessed meso-diaminopimelic acid, arabinose, galactose as diagnostic diamino acid and sugars, MK-9(H2) as predominant menaquinone, phospholipids of type PII and mycolic acid. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain SD29T was most closely related to Gordonia hydrophobica DSM 44015T and Gordonia sihwensis DSM 44576T, forming a distinct but loosely related branch in the phylogenetic tree. A number of physiological properties readily separated the isolate from its nearest neighbours. It is evident from genotypic and phenotypic data that strain SD29T represents a novel species of the genus Gordonia, for which the name Gordonia shandongensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is SD29T (=CGMCC 4.3492T=JCM 13907T).

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain SD29T is DQ420167.
