Abstract

A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacterium (ChimEc512) was isolated from 56 host seedlings of the hyperaccumulating legume, which was on an old zinc mining site at Les Avinières, Saint-Laurent-Le-Minier, Gard, South of France. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities, strain ChimEc512 was shown to belong to the genus and to be most closely related to CCGE 2052 (98.4 %), CCBAU 85039 (98.1 %), CCGE 502 (98.0 %) and CCGE 501 (98.0 %). The phylogenetic relationships of ChimEc512 were confirmed by sequencing and analyses of and genes. DNA–DNA relatedness values of strain ChimEc512 with CCGE 2052, CCBAU 85039, CCGE 52, CCGE 502, CCBAU 85039 and KL09-16-8-2 were 27, 22, 16, 18, 19 and 11 %, respectively. The DNA G+C content of strain ChimEc512 was 58.9 mol%. The major cellular fatty acid was C18 : 1ω7, characteristic of the genus . The polar lipid profile included phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylcholine and moderate amounts of aminolipids, phospholipid and sulfoquinovosyl diacylglycerol. Although ChimEc512 was able to nodulate , the nodC and nifH genes were not detected by PCR. The rhizobial strain was tolerant to high concentrations of heavy metals: up to 35 mM Zn and up to 0.5 mM Cd and its growth kinetics was not impacted by Zn. The results of DNA–DNA hybridizations and physiological tests allowed genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of strain ChimEc512 from species of the genus with validly published names. Strain ChimEc512, therefore, represents a novel species, for which the name sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain ChimEc512 ( = DSM 26575 = CIP 110550).
