Abstract

Twenty-two cream-coloured bacterial strains were isolated from oak trees affected by acute oak decline (AOD) in Southern England. Isolates were Gram-negative, motile, slightly curved rods, aerobic, non-spore-forming, catalase positive and oxidase positive. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis placed the strains in two separate phylogenetic clusters in the group, with as the closest phylogenetic relative. Multilocus sequence analyses of the , and genes supported the delineation of the strains into two separate taxa, which could be differentiated phenotypically and chemotaxonomically from each other, and their closest relatives. Average nucleotide identity and DNA–DNA hybridization values revealed percentages of genome similarity below the species threshold (95 and 70 %, respectively) between the two taxa and the closest relatives, confirming their novel species status. Therefore, on the basis of this polyphasic approach we propose two novel species, sp. nov. (type strain FRB 228=LMG 31087=NCPPB 4672) and sp. nov. (type strain FRB 230=LMG 31087=NCPPB 4673).
