sp. nov., an endophytic bacterium from the root nodules of the medicinal plant var. Free

Abstract

A Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, motile bacterium, PC004, was isolated from root nodules of the Thai medicinal plant var. . 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that the strain is phylogenetically related to species in the genus showing highest similarity (96.6 %) with HAMBI 3194. The phylogenetic tree reconstructed based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain PC004 forms a cluster with KCTC 23288. Based on , and gene sequences, strain PC004 also showed low similarity ( < 90 %) to reference strains. These phylogenetic data indicate that PC004 may represent a novel species. Strain PC004 also exhibited low DNA–DNA relatedness with HAMBI 3194 (8.2 %) and KCTC 23288 (26.3 %). The DNA G+C content of strain PC004 was 64 mol%, which is within the range reported for the genus . The major fatty acid of PC004 was Cω7 with minor amounts of C, C 3-OH, C 3-OH, C 2-OH, C cyclo ω8 and summed feature 2. The strain was able to grow at pH 12 and with up to 2 % (w/v) NaCl. Strain PC004 did not nodulate five tested legumes and the and genes were not detected by PCR. Based on the physiological, chemotaxonomic and phenotypic data from this study, strain PC004 represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is PC004 ( = BCC 73740 = NBRC 110722).
