Abstract

Thirteen Gram-positive, catalase-positive, rod-shaped single colonies were obtained after culturing a strawberry leaf on de Man–Rogosa–Sharpe agar. Based on 16S rRNA gene and gene sequence similarities, ranging between 99.0–100% and 96.5–100%, respectively, the 13 isolates were found to be closely related to each other. Two of the independent isolates, AMBP162 and AMBP252, were whole-genome sequenced, and showed to be undistinguishable with an average nucleotide identity (ANI) value of 100 %. Compared to the reference genomes for all species in the family , the AMBP162 genome was most similar to the reference strain of with ANI of only 89.5 %, indicating they were a different species. Based on genotypic and phenotypic data, a novel species, sp. nov., with the type strain AMBP162 (=LMG 32285=CECT 30357) is proposed.
