Abstract

Strain TSO2, a plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria and biological control agent, was isolated from wheat rhizosphere sampled from the Yaqui Valley in Mexico. The strain was identified using a polyphasic approach. Based on its analysis of the full-length 16S rRNA gene, strain TSO2 was assigned to the genus , which was supported by morphological and metabolic traits, such as Gram-positive staining, rod shape, spore formation, strictly aerobic metabolism, catalase-positive activity, starch, and casein hydrolysis, reduction of nitrate to nitrite, growth in presence of lysozyme and 2 % NaCl, citrate utilization, growth at pH 6.0, acid production from glucose and indole production from tryptophan. Additionally, strain TSO2 possesses swarming motility, presenting a featureless mat pattern that can cover the whole petri dish. The whole-genome phylogenetic relationship analysis elucidated that strain TSO2 is closely related to TE3. The maximum values for average nucleotide identity (ANI) and DNA–DNA hybridization from the genome-to-genome distance calculator (GGDC) were 97 and 73.4 %, respectively, related to TE3, where both ANI and GGDC values were barely above the species delimitation threshold, but below the subspecies limit. Also, strain TSO2 showed the ability to produce a fatty acid (C) that is not present in closely related species. These results provide evidence that strain TSO2 is a novel subspecies of the species , for which the name subsp. subsp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of subsp. subsp. nov. is TSO2 (CM-CNRG TB52=LBPCV TSO2). The description of this novel subspecies automatically creates the subspecies subsp. subsp. nov. for which the type strain is TE3 (CM-CNRG TB54=CCStamb A1).
