However, levels of DNA–DNA relatedness between strain 15-51T and P. borealis KACC 14287T and P. suwonensis KACC 11317T were low (<50 %). The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 37.8 mol% for strain 01-96T and 38.6 mol% for strain 15-51T. The major fatty acids of the two strains were iso-C17 : 0 3-OH, iso-C15 : 0 and summed feature 3 (iso-C15 : 0 2-OH and/or C16 : 1ω7c). The results of DNA–DNA hybridization and phenotypic data showed that strains 01-96T and 15-51T could be distinguished from their closest phylogenetic relatives, and that these strains represented two novel species of the genus Pedobacter, for which the names Pedobacter rhizosphaerae sp. nov. (type strain 01-96T  = KACC 14938T  = NBRC 107690T) and Pedobacter soli sp. nov. (type strain 15-51T  = KACC 14939T  = NBRC 107691T) are proposed.", }
