abstract= A Gram-staining-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacterial strain, Ca-34T, was isolated from nodules of chickpea (Cicer arietinum) in Pakistan and studied for its taxonomic affiliation. The almost full-length 16S rRNA gene sequence showed highest similarities to those of strains of the genus Ochrobactrum. Based on results of MALDI-TOF MS and 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (98.6 %), strain Ca-34T and Ochrobactrum intermedium LMG 3301T are phylogenetic neighbours; the two strains shared DNA–DNA relatedness of 64 %. The fatty acid profile [predominantly C18 : 1 ω7c (67.7 %) and C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c (19.6 %)] also supported the genus affiliation. Metabolically, strain Ca-34T differed from other type strains of Ochrobactrum in many reactions and from all type strains in testing positive for gelatin hydrolysis and in testing negative for assimilation of alaninamide and l-threonine. Based on phenotypic and genotypic data, we conclude that strain Ca-34T represents a novel species, for which we propose the name Ochrobactrum ciceri sp. nov. (type strain Ca-34T =DSM 22292T =CCUG 57879T).,
