A rod-shaped marine bacterium, designated CL-Z59^T, was isolated from seawater enriched with zooplankton. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain CL-Z59^T belongs to the genus Nocardioides, the highest level of sequence similarity (99.2 %) being found with respect to Nocardioides marinisabuli KCCM 42681^T. However, DNA–DNA hybridization experiments between strain CL-Z59^T and N. marinisabuli KCCM 42681^T revealed a mean relatedness value of 33 %. Cells were Gram-positive, strictly aerobic and non-motile. Strain CL-Z59^T grew optimally at pH 6–7 and 25–30 °C and at a NaCl concentration of 3 %. The isolate was characterized chemotaxonomically as having LL-diaminopimelic acid in the cell wall. The major isoprenoid quinone was MK-8(H₄) and the predominant cellular fatty acid was iso-C_{16 : 0}. The DNA G+C content was 73.3 mol%. On the basis of phylogenetic, genotypic and phenotypic data, strain CL-Z59^T represents a novel species of the genus Nocardioides, for which the name Nocardioides salarius sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CL-Z59^T (=KCCM 42320^T=DSM 18239^T).
