Lysobacter ximonensis sp. nov., isolated from soil Wang, Yang and Dai, Jun and Zhang, Lei and Luo, Xuesong and Li, Yaowei and Chen, Gong and Tang, Yali and Meng, Ya and Fang, Chengxiang,, 59, 786-789 (2009), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.65796-0, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= A bacterial isolate, strain XM415T, obtained from soil of Tibet in China was characterized using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Strain XM415T was aerobic, Gram-negative, gliding, rod-shaped, oxidase-negative and catalase-positive. Strain XM415T showed the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Lysobacter niastensis GH41-7T (96.0 %). Ubiquinone Q-8 and branched fatty acids, such as iso-C16 : 0 (24.0 %), iso-C15 : 0 (22.6 %), iso-C17 : 1 ω9c (6.7 %), iso-C14 : 0 (6.1 %) and iso-C11 : 0 3-OH (5.2 %), were predominant in strain XM415T as well as in all type strains of recognized Lysobacter species. The DNA G+C content of XM415T was 63.5 mol%. The genotypic and phenotypic data show that strain XM415T represents a novel species of the genus Lysobacter, for which the name Lysobacter ximonensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is XM415T (=CCTCC AB 207091T =NRRL B-51263T)., language=, type=
