Abstract

Three slow-growing rhizobial strains, designated RITF806, RITF807 and RITF211, isolated from root nodules of grown in Ganzhou city, Jiangxi Province, China, had been previously defined, based on amplified 16S rRNA gene restriction analysis, as a novel group within the genus . To clarify their taxonomic position, these strains were further analysed and compared with reference strains of related bacteria using a polyphasic approach. According to 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, the isolates formed a group that was closely related to ‘’ CTAW71, with a similarity value of 99.9 %. In phylogenetic analyses of the housekeeping and symbiotic gene sequences, the three strains formed a distinct lineage within the genus , which was consistent with the results of DNA–DNA hybridization. In analyses of cellular fatty acids and phenotypic features, some differences were found between the novel group and related species of the genus , indicating that these three strains constituted a novel group distinct from any recognized species of the genus . Based on the data obtained in this study, we conclude that our strains represent a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed, with RITF806 ( = CCBAU 101088 = JCM 19881) as the type strain. The DNA G+C content of strain RITF806 is 64.6 mol% ( ).
