Abstract

An oval to rod-shaped, phototrophic, purple non-sulfur bacterium, strain JA192, was isolated from an enrichment culture of a pasteurized rhizosphere soil sample from a field cultivated with jowar (sorghum) collected from Godumakunta village near Hyderabad, India. Strain JA192 is Gram-negative, motile and produces endospores. Phylogenetic analysis on the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the strain JA192 is closely related to 2.4.1 (99.9 % sequence similarity), JA194 (99.8 %) and KA25 (98.1 %) and clusters with other species of the genus of the family . However, DNA–DNA hybridization with DSM 158, JA194 and JCM 9340 showed relatedness of only 38–57 % with respect to strain JA192. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, DNA–DNA hybridization data and morphological, physiological and chemotaxonomic characters, strain JA192 represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is JA192 (=DSM 18678 =JCM 14543 =MTCC 8172).
