Phylogenetic analyses of the 16S rRNA gene sequence, the deduced amino acid sequence of the rplJ gene and a partial nucleotide sequence of the β operon indicated that isolate NZ082226 represents a novel candidate species of ‘Candidatus Liberibacter’, for which the name ‘Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum’ is proposed. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.007377-0
