sp. nov., an endophytic bacterial species isolated from deep-water rice in India Free

Abstract

A non-pigmented, motile, Gram-negative bacterium designated MTCC 4195 was isolated from surface-sterilized seeds and plant tissue from deep-water rice () cultivated in Suraha Tal Lake in northern India. This isolate was shown to reinfect and colonize deep-water rice endophytically. The highest level of 16S rRNA sequence similarity (96.8 %) to strain MTCC 4195 was shown by DSM 15295. Strain MTCC 4195 utilized -hydroxybutyric acid, adonitol, -glucosaminic acid and arabinose as carbon sources, but failed to use gentiobiose or citrate. The cell-wall fatty acids of strain MTCC 4195 were characterized by the presence of a relatively large proportion of C 7 and a relative small proportion of C in comparison with species. DNA–DNA relatedness studies showed less than 52 % binding with the DNAs of type strains of other species of the genus . On the basis of phenotypic and genotypic characteristics and the results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, the novel species sp. nov. is proposed, with MTCC 4195 (=DSM 17471) as the type strain.
