Abstract

A Gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacterium (MH96) was isolated from diseased larvae of the New Zealand grass grub, (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae). On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, strain MH96 is a member of the genus , which is a member of the class . The most similar 16S rRNA gene sequence to that of MH96 is that of the type strain of (98.5 % similarity) followed by those of the type strains of , and (all 98.4 % similarity). Multilocus sequence typing of five housekeeping genes (, , , and ) identified (81–92 % similarity) as the closest relative. The results of DNA–DNA hybridization and physiological and biochemical tests allowed genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of strain MH96 from the four most closely related species with validly published names, including a isolate. Strain MH96 therefore represents a novel species, for which the name sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain MH96 ( = DSM 22339  = ATCC BAA-1678).
