JF International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, VO 60 IS 1 SP 21 OP 26 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.012823-0 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1466-5034, AB A facultatively chemolithoautotrophic, thiosulfate-oxidizing, Gram-negative, aerobic, motile, rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated ATSB16T, was isolated from rhizosphere soils of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.). 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis demonstrated that this strain was closely related to Pandoraea pnomenusa LMG 18087T (96.7 % similarity), P. pulmonicola LMG 18016T (96.5 %), P. apista LMG 16407T (96.2 %), P. norimbergensis LMG 18379T (96.1 %) and P. sputorum LMG 18819T (96.0 %). Strain ATSB16T shared 96.0–96.4 % sequence similarity with four unnamed genomospecies of Pandoraea. The major cellular fatty acids of the strain ATSB16T were C17 : 0 cyclo (33.0 %) and C16 : 0 (30.6 %). Q-8 was the predominant respiratory quinone. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylmethylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and two unidentified aminophospholipids. Hydroxyputrescine and putrescine were the predominant polyamines. The genomic DNA G+C content of the strain was 64.0 mol%. On the basis of the results obtained from this study, strain ATSB16T represents a novel species of the genus Pandoraea, for which the name Pandoraea thiooxydans sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is ATSB16T (=KACC 12757T =LMG 24779T)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.012823-0
