Abstract

Two Gram-negative, non-motile, rod-shaped strains, BQ4-1 and NHI3-2, isolated respectively from the healthy and diseased part of × canker bark, were characterized using a polyphasic approach. Chemotaxonomic characterization supported the inclusion of the two strains in the genus , with genomic DNA G+C contents (42.5–43 mol%) within the range observed for this genus (38–47 mol%) and 9-octadecenoic acid (Cω9, 39.87 %), hexadecanoic acid (C, 11.26 %) and summed feature 3 (comprising Cω7/Cω6, 18.90 %) as major fatty acids. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA, and gene sequences revealed that strains BQ4-1 and NHI3 did not cluster with any species with validly published names, and formed a distinct cluster with 99–100 % bootstrap support on three phylogenetic trees within the genus . Acid was not produced from -glucose, and haemolysis was not observed on agar media supplemented with sheep erythrocytes. On the basis of phenotypic, genotypic and phylogenetic characteristics, the two strains are considered to represent a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is BQ4-1 ( = CFCC 10780 = JCM 18011).
