A Gram-negative, rod-shaped, and aerobic bacterium Z8T, was isolated from rice fields. It hydrolyses starch and urea, reduces nitrate, and is Tween-20, -40, and − 80, peroxidase and oxidase positive. It grows best at 35°C, 0.0–1.0% NaCl, and pH 7.0. The primary fatty acids found in the membrane are C16:0, C16:1 ω7c and/or C16:1 ω6c, and C18:1 ω7c and/or C18:1 ω6c. The major polar lipids are phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, and diphosphatidylglycerol. The predominant quinone system is ubiquinone-9. Strain Z8T is most closely related to Pseudomonas khazarica TBZ2T (98.59%) and Pseudomonas guguanensis JCM 18416T (98.35%) according to similarity and phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA. The genome of strain Z8T comprises 4,468,130 bp, G + C content is 62.95%. The average nucleotide identity with strains of genus Pseudomonas is 77.73–89.05%, dDDH values between Z8T and genus Pseudomonas is 21.90–36.20%. Based on the polyphasic analysis, a novel species with the name Pseudomonas oryzisoli sp. nov. is proposed, and type strain is Z8T (= CCTCC AB2022325T = JCM 35791T).
