Abstract

The taxonomic status of strain M16386, a nitrogen-fixing but non-nodulating isolate from , was established on the basis of a polyphasic approach. The strain grows as branched hyphae, with vesicles and non-motile productive multilocular sporangia. It metabolizes short fatty acids, TCA cycle intermediates and carbohydrates as carbon sources, and fixes nitrogen in the absence of combined nitrogen source in the growth media. Chemotaxonomic traits of strain M16386 are consistent with its affiliation to the genus . The characteristic diamino acid in the cell wall is -diaminopimelic acid. Strain M16386 contains phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, glycophospholipid and phospholipid as polar lipids; MK-9(H) and MK-9(H) as the predominant menaquinones; iso-C and Cω8 as major fatty acids; and galactose, glucose, mannose, rhamnose and ribose as whole-cell sugars. Strain M16386 showed 98.2 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with its closest phylogenetic neighbour, DSM 45817. Based on these results, strain M16386 (=DSM 100626=CECT 9040) is designated the type strain of a novel species of the genus for which the name sp. nov. is proposed.
