On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities, all the strains were shown previously to belong to the genus Burkholderia. A polyphasic approach, including DNA–DNA hybridizations, PFGE of whole-genome DNA profiles, whole-cell protein analyses, fatty acid methyl ester analysis and extensive biochemical characterization, was used to clarify the taxonomic position of these strains further; the strains are here classified within a novel species, for which the name Burkholderia nodosa sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain, Br3437T (=LMG 23741T=BCRC 17575T), was isolated from nodules of M. scabrella., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.64873-0
