Abstract

A lightly yellowish-pigmented, oxidase-negative bacterial strain (PB45.5) isolated from the Nam Nao district of Phetchabun in central Thailand was investigated to determine its taxonomic position. Cells of the isolate showed a rod shaped appearance. The strain stained Gram-negative. Strain PB45.5 shared highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with the type strains of subsp. (99.2 %) and subsp. (99.1 %) and lower similarities to all other subspecies (<98.0 %). Multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) based on concatenated partial , , , and gene sequences confirmed the affiliation obtained by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis but showed a clear distinction of PB45.5 from the closest related type strains. Strain PB45.5 shared only 96.9 % sequence similarity (concatenated nucleotide sequences) with subsp. FRG04 and 96.8 % with subsp. C8404. The fatty acid profile of the strain consisted of the major fatty acids C, C, C cyclo, Cω7 and/or iso-C 2-OH, and C 7 The MLSA results and the differential biochemical and chemotaxonomic properties showed that strain PB45.5 represents a novel subspecies, for which the name subsp. subsp. nov. (type strain PB45.5=LMG 29915=CCM 8729) is proposed.
