Phytohabitans flavus sp. nov., Phytohabitans rumicis sp. nov. and Phytohabitans houttuyneae sp. nov., isolated from plant roots, and emended description of the genus Phytohabitans
An actinomycete strain, designated K09-0627T, was isolated from the roots of an orchid collected in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan. Two actinomycete strains K11-0047T and K11-0057T were isolated from the roots of Rumex acetosa and Houttuynia cordata collected in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses indicated that the isolates belonged to the genus Phytohabitans, and that they were closely related to each other and to Phytohabitans suffuscus K07-0523T. The DNA–DNA relatedness values between the three isolates and Phytohabitans suffuscus were below 70 %. On the basis of phylogenetic analysis, DNA–DNA relatedness values and phenotypic characteristics, the strains should be classified as novel species in the genus Phytohabitans, for which the names Phytohabitans flavus sp. nov. (type strain, K09-0627T = JCM 17387T = NBRC 107702T = DSM 45551T), Phytohabitans rumicis sp. nov. (type strain, K11-0047T = JCM 17829T = NBRC 108638T = BCC 48146T) and Phytohabitans houttuyneae sp. nov. (type strain, K11-0057T = JCM 17830T = NBRC 108639T = BCC 48147T) are proposed.
