Abstract
The pathovar-based taxonomy of the Xanthomonas translucens group is very confusing due to an overlap of plant host ranges and level of host specificity. Here, whole-genome sequence-based parameters (digital DNA-DNA hybridization and blast-based average nucleotide identity), phylogenomic, biochemical and phenotypical data were used to taxonomically analyse the 11 known pathovars of the X. translucens complex. This polyphasic approach taxonomically assigned the 11 pathovars of X. translucens complex into three distinct species, two of which are new: X. translucens, X. cerealis sp. nov. and X. graminis sp. nov. X. translucens consists of three pathovars: pv. translucens (=pv. hordei), pv. pistaciae strain A ICMP 16316PT and pv. undulosa (=pv. secalis). X. cerealis sp. nov. encompasses the pv. cerealis strain LMG 679PT and pv. pistaciae strain B ICMP 16317PT with genome similarity of 92.7% (dDDH) and 99.0% (ANIb) suggesting taxonomically similar genotypes. The other new species, X. graminis sp. nov., consists of the remaining five designated pathovars (pv. graminis, pv. arrhenatheri, pv. poae, pv. phleipratensis and pv. phlei) with highly variable dDDH and ANIb values ranging from 74.5 to 93.0% and from 96.7 to 99.2%, respectively, an indication of a very divergent taxonomic group. Only strains of pvs. phlei and phleipratensis showed the highest genomic similarities of 93.0% (dDDH) and 99.2% (ANIb), suggesting synonymic pathovars as both infect the same plant hosts. The dDDH and ANI data were corroborated by phylogenomics clustering. The fatty acid contents were similar but the type strain of X. graminis sp. nov. exhibited 20% less C15 : 0 iso and 40% more C17 : 0 iso fatty acids than the other species. Based on phenotypic, biochemical and whole-genome sequence data, we propose two new species, Xanthomonas cerealis sp. nov. and Xanthomonas graminis sp. nov. with type strains LMG 679T (=NCPPB 1944T) and LMG 726T (=NCPPB 2700T), respectively.
