Mesorhizobium ephedrae sp. nov. isolated from the roots of Ephedra przewalskii in Kumtag desert Free

Abstract

Strain 6GN-30, a Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped, motile bacterium was isolated from Ephedra sinica roots in the Kumtag Desert. On the basis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence, the isolate represented a member of the genus Mesorhizobium of the family Phyllobacteriaceae . The results of a phylogenetic analysis indicated that 6GN-30 was phylogenetically related to Mesorhizobium soli NHI-8. Strain 6GN-30 grew at a salinity of 0–1.0 % (w/v) NaCl (with optimum growth in the absence of NaCl), pH 6.0–9.0 (optimum 7.0–8.0) and 15–45 °C. The major cellular fatty acids were summed feature 8 (C18 : 1ω7c/C18 : 1ω6c), C19 : 0cyclo ω8c, iso-C17 : 0, C18 : 0, and C16 : 0. The draft genome of 6GN-30 was 6.11 Mb long, with a DNA G+C content of 66.4 mol%. The average nucleotide identity to M. soli NHI-8 was 84.32 %. The strain contained diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine,aminophospholipids and phospholipids. The chemotaxonomic, phylogenetic and phenotypic data indicate that 6GN-30 represents a novel species of the genus Mesorhizobium for which the name Mesorhizobium ephedrae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 6GN-30 (=ACCC 60073=KCTC 62410).
