Paraburkholderia caffeinilytica sp. nov., isolated from the soil of a tea plantation Gao, Ziqing and Yuan, Yue and Xu, Lei and Liu, Ran and Chen, Ming and Zhang, Chunzhi,, 66, 4185-4190 (2016), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijsem.0.001333, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= A novel bacterium, designated strain CF1T, was isolated from a soil sample of a tea plantation and its taxonomic position was determined using a polyphasic approach. Strain CF1T was a Gram-stain-negative, facultatively anaerobic, non-sporulating, non-motile and rod-shaped bacterium. Optimum growth occurred at 25 °C and pH 6.0. Comparative analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that the isolate belongs to the genus Paraburkholderia , showing highest levels of similarity with respect to Paraburkholderia sediminicola LMG 24238T (98.44 %). Additionally, strain CF1T, P. sediminicola LMG 24238T and Paraburkholderia aspalathi LMG 27731 formed a distinct group in the phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences. The predominant ubiquinone was Q-8, and the polar lipid profile consisted of a mixture of phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, one unidentified aminophospholipid, two unidentified aminolipids and two unidentified polar lipids. The DNA G+C content was 60.2 mol%, and the major fatty acids were C16 : 0, summed feature 8 (C18 : 1 ω7c and/or C18 : 1 ω6c) and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1 ω7c and/or C16 : 1 ω6c). The DNA–DNA relatedness values between strain CF1T and its close relatives including P. sediminicola LMG 24238T and P. aspalathi LMG 27731 49.3±0.4 % and 38.3±0.5 %, respectively. On the basis of phylogenetic analysis, phenotypic and genotypic data, it is concluded that the isolate represents a novel species of the genus Paraburkholderia , for which the name Paraburkholderia caffeinilytica sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CF1T (=LMG 28690T=CGMCC 1.15103T)., language=, type=
