sp. nov. and sp. nov., two species from the rhizosphere of Free

Abstract

Two motile, Gram-staining-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped bacteria designated strains E48 and E49 were isolated from the rhizosphere of from a natural salt meadow near Münzenberg, Germany. 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity analysis revealed that strains E48 and E49 shared similarities of 97.6 % with KMM 1406 and 98.5 % with E407-8, respectively. Major fatty acids of strain E48 were C, summed feature 3 (Cω7 and/or iso-C 2-OH) and Cω8, and of strain E49 were C, summed feature 3 (Cω7 and/or iso-C 2-OH) and Cω7. The DNA G+C contents were 50.5 mol% (E48) and 50.0 mol% (E49). Strains E48 and E49 grew at 4–37 °C (optimum 28 °C) and with 0–6 % NaCl (optimum 0–3 %) and 0–5 % NaCl (optimum 0–3 %), respectively. The potential for nitrogen fixation by strains E48 and E49 was evaluated by molecular techniques and the acetylene reduction assay. The DNA–DNA hybridization, physiological and molecular data demonstrated that strains E48 and E49 represent two novel species of the genus , and therefore the names sp. nov. (type strain E48 = LMG 27268 = KACC 17070) and sp. nov. (type strain E49 = LMG 27269 = KACC 17071) are proposed.
