It grew at 4–37 °C (optimal 28–33 °C), pH 4.0–8.5 (optimal 4.5–6.0) and 0–1.5 (optimal 0–0.5) % (w/v) NaCl. The results of phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the strain formed a clade with Paraburkholderia phenazinium LMG 2247T, Paraburkholderia. sartisoli LMG 24000T and Paraburkholderia. pallidirosea DHOK13T, with a sequence similarity of 98.5, 97.5 and 98.1 % to the above strains, respectively. The DNA G+C content of DHOC27T was 62.3 mol%. The digital DNA–DNA relatedness values and the average nucleotide identities between strain DHOC27T and P. phenazinium LMG 2247T and P. sartisoli LMG 24000T were 26.9 and 24.3 % and 82.3 and 79.9 %, respectively. C16 : 0, C17 : 0 cyclo and C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c were the major fatty acids, and ubiquinone-8 was the major respiratory quinone detected, all of which supported the affiliation of DHOC27T to the genus Paraburkholderia . On the basis of the data presented above, strain DHOC27T represents a novel species of the genus Paraburkholderia and the name Paraburkholderia telluris sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is DHOC27T (=LMG 30263T=GDMCC 1.1281T)., language=, type=
