Abstract

Gram-stain-positive, rod-shaped, non-spore forming bacteria have been isolated from flowers and the guts of adult wild bees in the families Megachilidae and Halictidae. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene indicated that these bacteria belong to the genus , and are most closely related to the honey-bee associated bacteria (97.0 % sequence similarity) and (97.0 % sequence similarity). Phylogenetic analyses of 16S rRNA genes and six single-copy protein coding genes, and DNA–DNA hybridization, and fatty-acid profiling differentiates the newly isolated bacteria as three novel species: sp. nov. with the type strain Hlig3 (=DSM 104126,=NRRL B-65473), with the type strain HV_12 (=DSM 104128,=NRRL B-65472), and sp. nov. with the type strain HV_6 (=DSM 104127,=NRRL B-65474).
