The causative agent was similar to Pseudomonas putida biovar A in its phenotypic characteristics and on the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, but it reduced nitrate to nitrite. Furthermore, it was distinguished phenotypically from Pseudomonas putida biovar A by utilization of D-malate, L-(+)-tartrate, m-tartrate and nicotinate. The levels of DNA-DNA hybridization between the isolate strain FPC 951T and other reference strains of Pseudomonas species, including Pseudomonas putida, were less than 50%. The G+C content of the DNA of FPC 951T was 62.8 mol%. Strain FPC 951T (= ATCC 700383T) is designated the type strain of the new species.", }
