Abstract

A yellow Gram-reaction-positive bacterium isolated from bean seeds ( L.) was identified as by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Molecular methods were employed in order to identify the subspecies. Such methods included the amplification of specific sequences by PCR, 16S amplified rDNA restriction analysis (ARDRA), RFLP and multilocus sequence analysis as well as the analysis of biochemical and phenotypic traits including API 50CH and API ZYM results. The results showed that strain LPPA 982 did not represent any known subspecies of . Pathogenicity tests revealed that the strain is a bean pathogen causing a newly identified bacterial disease that we name bacterial bean leaf yellowing. On the basis of these results, strain LPPA 982 is regarded as representing a novel subspecies for which the name subsp. subsp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is LPPA 982 ( = CECT 8144 = LMG 27667).
