Abstract

Several pectolytic bacterial strains, mainly isolated from monocotyledonous plants and previously identified as , were thought to belong to a novel species after several taxonomic analyses including DNA–DNA hybridization. In 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses, these strains had a similarity of >97.9 % to the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strains representing six other pectobacterial species and subspecies. These strains, represented by strain SCRI 109, also showed some unique chemotaxonomic features and quantitative differences in polar lipids, lipoquinones and fatty acids. A specific feature of strain SCRI 109 was the presence of DMK-8 lipoquinone, while the dominant fatty acids were the summed feature 3 (iso-C 2-OH/Cω7), the unsaturated fatty acid Cω7 and straight chain fatty acids, mainly C. The DNA G+C content of strain SCRI 109 was 50.2 mol%. The taxonomic status of strain SCRI 109 and related strains in 16S rRNA gene sequence, chemotaxonomic, and physiological analyses was corroborated by the distinct clustering of these strains in multi-locus sequence analyses. It is proposed that these strains represent a novel species for which the name sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is SCRI 109 ( = NCPPB 929 = LMG 2417 = ICMP 1522).
