Massilia phosphatilytica sp. nov., a phosphate solubilizing bacteria isolated from a long-term fertilized soil Zheng, Bang-Xiao and Bi, Qing-Fang and Hao, Xiu-Li and Zhou, Guo-Wei and Yang, Xiao-Ru,, 67, 2514-2519 (2017), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijsem.0.001916, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= A Gram-stain-negative and rod-shaped bacterial strain, 12-OD1T, with rock phosphate solubilizing ability was isolated from agricultural soil in Hailun, Heilongjiang, PR China. The isolate was affiliated to the genus Massilia , based on 16S rRNA gene sequence alignments, having the highest similarities with Massilia putida 6 NM-7T (98.67 %), Massilia kyonggiensis TSA1T (98.28 %), and Massilia norwichensis NS9T (98.07 %), respectively. The DNA G+C content was 67.72 mol% and DNA–DNA hybridization showed low relatedness values (less than 47 %) between strain 12-OD1T and other phylogenetically related species of the genus Massilia . The predominant isoprenoid quinone was Q-8 and the polar lipid profile comprised diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine. The major fatty acids were C17 : 0 cyclo (25.4 %), C16 : 0 (23.4 %) and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω7c and/or C16 : 1 ω6c) (22.5 %), which differentiates it from close relatives within the genus Massilia . Combined genetic, physiological and biochemical properties indicate that strain 12-OD1T is a novel species of the genus Massilia , for which the name Massilia phosphatilytica sp. nov., is proposed, with the type strain 12-OD1T (=CCTCC AB 2016251T=LMG 29956T=KCTC 52513T)., language=, type=
