Abstract

A novel bacterial strain, designated NRCPB10, was isolated from rhizosphere soil of chickpea ( L.) in Pusa, New Delhi, India. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain NRCPB10 showed highest similarity (98.9 %) to that of NCPPB 2437, followed by AF3-10 (97.7 %) and IFO 13261 (97.4 %). Phylogenetic analysis of strain NRCPB10 based on the housekeeping genes and confirmed its position as distinct from recognized species. Levels of DNA–DNA relatedness between strain NRCPB10 and ICMP 5785, LMG 21410 and ICMP 6428 were 51.0, 32.6 and 27.3 %, respectively. Cellular fatty acids of strain NRCPB10 were Cω7 (58.9 %), C (15.5 %), C cyclo ω8 (11.5 %), iso-C (5.8 %), C 3-OH (4.5 %), Cω7 (2.1 %) and C (1.3 %). The G+C content of the genomic DNA of strain NRCPB10 was 59.0 mol%. Strain NRCPB10 did not nodulate chickpea plants or induce tumours in tobacco plants. Phenotypic and physiological properties along with SDS-PAGE of whole-cell soluble proteins differentiated strain NRCPB10 from its closest phylogenetic neighbours. On the basis of data from the present polyphasic taxonomic study, strain NRCPB10 is considered to represent a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NRCPB10 ( = LMG 25623 = JCM 16209 = NCIMB 14639).
