Falsochrobactrum shanghaiense sp. nov., isolated from paddy soil and emended description of the genus Falsochrobactrum Sun, Lina and Yao, Li and Gao, Xinhua and Huang, Kaihua and Bai, Naling and Lyu, Weiguang and Chen, Wei,, 69, 778-782 (2019), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijsem.0.003236, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= A non-spore-forming, motile, Gram-stain-negative, short rod-shaped strain, designated HN4T, was isolated from a paddy soil sample collected in Shanghai, China. A comparative analysis o-f 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain HN4T fell within the genus Falsochrobactrum , forming a clear cluster with the type strain of Falsochrobactrum ovis , with which it exhibited a 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity value of 98.2 %. Strain HN4T grew optimally at pH 7.0, 30–35 °C and in the presence of 1 % (w/v) NaCl. It was positive for oxidase activity. Chemotaxonomic analysis showed that strain HN4T contained ubiquinone-10 as the predominant respiratory quinone and possessed summed feature 8(C18 : 1ω7c and/or C18 : 1ω6c) and C19 : 0cyclo ω8c as predominant fatty acids. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylcholine. The DNA G+C content was 56.9 mol%. Strain HN4T exhibited a DNA–DNA relatedness level of 18±1 % with Falsochrobactrum ovis CCM 8460T. Based on the data obtained in this study, strain HN4T represents a novel species of the genus Falsochrobactrum , for which the name Falsochrobactrum shanghaiense sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is HN4T (=JCM 32785T=CCTCC AB 2018063T)., language=, type=
