Abstract

Seven Gram-negative bacterial strains were isolated from oozing bark canker of poplar () trees in Hungary. They showed high (>98.3 %) 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to ; however, they differed from this species in several phenotypic characteristics. Multilocus sequence analysis based on three housekeeping genes (, and ) revealed, and DNA–DNA hybridization analysis confirmed, that this group of bacterial strains forms a distinct lineage within the species . A detailed study of phenotypic and physiological characteristics confirmed the separation of isolates from poplars from other subspecies of ; therefore, a novel subspecies, subsp. type strain NY060 ( = DSM 25466 = NCAIM B 02483), is proposed.
