Abstract

A re-evaluation of the taxonomic position of two strains, 1383 and 2249, isolated from poppy seeds and tea leaves, which had been identified as (formerly ), was carried out. The analysis included phenotypic characterization, 16S rRNA gene sequencing, multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) of five housekeeping genes (, , , and ; 2034 bp) and ribosomal MLSA (53 loci; 22 511 bp). 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and MLSA showed that the strains formed an independent phylogenetic lineage, with LMG 23730 as the closest neighbour. Average nucleotide identity analysis and phenotypic analysis confirmed that these strains represent a novel species, for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 1383 ( = NCTC 14934 = CECT 8567 = LMG 28204). An emended description of is also provided.
