Abstract

In a study on the diversity of rhizobia isolated from root nodules of , five strains showed identical 16S rRNA gene sequences. They were related most closely to the type strains of , , and , with sequence similarities of 99.6–99.8 %. A polyphasic approach, including 16S–23S intergenic spacer (IGS) RFLP, comparative sequence analysis of 16S rRNA, , and genes, DNA–DNA hybridization and phenotypic tests, clustered the five isolates into a coherent group distinct from all recognized species. Except for strain CCBAU 33446, from which no symbiotic gene was detected, the four remaining strains shared identical and gene sequences and nodulated with In addition, these five strains showed similar but different fingerprints in IGS-RFLP and BOX-repeat-based PCR, indicating that they were not clones of the same strain. They were also distinguished from recognized species by several phenotypic features and fatty acid profiles. Based upon all the results, we suggest that the five strains represent a novel species for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CCBAU 33460 ( = CGMCC 1.12097 = LMG 26793 = HAMBI 3277). The DNA G+C content of the type strain is 59.52 mol% ( ).
