Abstract
Thirteen novel strains - J2L1-78T, J2P1-59T, J22R24T, J22R133T, J22P168T, J22P271T, J22R187T, J22R193T, J2L1-63, J2R1-6, J22G21, J22G47, and J31P216 - were isolated from the rhizosphere of 20-year-old ginseng in Jilin Province, P.R. China. These strains were Gram-stain-negative, aerobic and rod-shaped. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated their affiliation to the genus Variovorax, with 98.8-99.6% sequence similarity to Variovorax ginsengisoli Gsoil 3165T, Variovorax ureilyticus UCM-2T and Variovorax humicola UC38T. Phylogenomic analysis demonstrated their distinctiveness from closely related species. Average nucleotide identity (ANI) values among these strains confirm their representation of eight distinct species; additionally, ANI and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values between these strains and their closest relatives were below 92.5 and 54.1%, respectively. Eight representative strains contained C16 : 0, summed feature 3 (C16 : 1 ω7c and/or C16 : 1 ω6c) and C17 : 0 cyclo as major fatty acids. Based on phenotypic, phylogenetic and genotypic data, these 13 strains comprise 8 novel species within the genus Variovorax, for which we propose the following names: Variovorax arabinosiphilus sp. nov. (J2L1-78T=CGMCC 1.60704T=KACC 23365T), Variovorax flavidus sp. nov. (J2P1-59T=CGMCC 1.60707T=KACC 23366T), Variovorax gracilis sp. nov. (J22R24T=CGMCC 1.61001T=KACC 23367T), Variovorax brevis sp. nov. (J22R133T=CGMCC 1.61263T=KACC 23368T), Variovorax jilinensis sp. nov. (J22P168T=CGMCC 1.64555T=KACC 23372T), Variovorax davisae sp. nov. (J22P271T=CGMCC 1.64593T=KACC 23373T), Variovorax saccharolyticus sp. nov. (J22R187T=CGMCC 1.64629T=KACC 23374T) and Variovorax fucosicus sp. nov. (J22R193T=CGMCC 1.64631T=KACC 23375T).
期刊介绍:
Published by the Microbiology Society and owned by the International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes (ICSP), a committee of the Bacteriology and Applied Microbiology Division of the International Union of Microbiological Societies, International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology is the leading forum for the publication of novel microbial taxa and the ICSP’s official journal of record for prokaryotic names.
The journal welcomes high-quality research on all aspects of microbial evolution, phylogenetics and systematics, encouraging submissions on all prokaryotes, yeasts, microfungi, protozoa and microalgae across the full breadth of systematics including:
Identification, characterisation and culture preservation
Microbial evolution and biodiversity
Molecular environmental work with strong taxonomic or evolutionary content
Nomenclature
Taxonomy and phylogenetics.
