Abstract

The genus , which belongs to the bacterial family , contains numerous species that cause soft rot diseases in a wide range of plants. The species is highly heterogeneous, indicating a need for re-evaluation and a better classification of the species. PacBio was used for sequencing of two soft-rot-causing bacterial strains (NIBIO1006 and NIBIO1392), initially identified as strains by fatty acid analysis and sequencing of three housekeeping genes (, and ). Their taxonomic relationship to other species was determined and the distance from any described species within the genus was less than 94 % average nucleotide identity (ANI). Based on ANI, phylogenetic data and genome-to-genome distance, strains NIBIO1006, NIBIO1392 and NCPPB3395 are suggested to represent a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NIBIO1006 (=DSM 105255=NCPPB 4611).
