However, some species are occasionally isolated from environmental sources, including water and polluted soil, while others are opportunistic human pathogens. Four novel bacterial strains were isolated from diseased foliage of tomato and Boston fern in Florida, USA. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence placed all strains into the genus <i>Herbaspirillum</i>. The Gram-negative strains produced opaque, creamy white, mucoid colonies, which is typical of the genus <i>Herbaspirillum</i>. Biolog biochemical profiling also identified those strains as members of <i>Herbaspirillum</i>. The strains were subjected to whole-genome sequencing, and their genomes were compared with those of reference strains of <i>Herbaspirillum</i> spp. using average nucleotide identity (ANI). The two strains isolated from Boston fern shared 99% pairwise ANI, as did the two strains isolated from tomato. Among all reference genomes tested, the novel strains shared the highest ANI to <i>Herbaspirillum huttiense</i> subsp. <i>huttiense</i> (G21-1742 and NC 40101, 96.76%; SE1, 97.23%; F1, 97.16%) and to <i>H. huttiense</i> subsp. <i>putei</i>. These values are above the established 95% threshold for species delineation based on ANI. As the ANI between members of the two currently described subspecies of <i>H. huttiense</i>, i.e. <i>huttiense</i> and <i>putei</i>, is also ~97%, it can be inferred that the two groups of novel strains described in this study should be considered as candidates for classification as two new subspecies of <i>H. huttiense</i>, given that the current <i>H. huttiense</i> subspecies also have ~97% with the fern and tomato strains. <i>In silico</i> DNA-DNA hybridization results were consistent with those of ANI; comparison of G21-1742 and NC 40101 with <i>H. huttiense</i> subsp. <i>putei</i> IAM 15032<sup>T</sup>and <i>H. huttiense</i> subsp. <i>huttiense</i> LMG 2199<sup>T</sup> produced DNA-DNA hybridization (DDH) values of 66.1 and 73.6 %, respectively.

The genomes of all novel isolates carry genes involved in plant pathogenesis, including those of the type III secretion system, which are not present in other <i>H. huttiense</i> strains.
