Roseomonas hellenica sp. nov., isolated from roots of wild-growing Alkanna tinctoria

Tijdschriftbijdrage - Tijdschriftartikel

Two Gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped and yellow-orange pigmented bacterial strains (LMG 31523(T) and LMG 31524) were isolated from roots of wild-growing Alkanna tinctoria plants collected near Thessaloniki, Greece. Analysis of their 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that they form a separate cluster related to the genus Roseomonas. A comparative whole genome analysis of the two strains and the type strains of related Roseomonas species revealed average nucleotide identity values from 78.84 and 80.32%. The G + C contents of the genomic DNA of strains LMG 31523(T) and LMG 31524 were 69.69% and 69.74%, respectively. Combined data from phenotypic, phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic studies indicated that the strains LMG 31523(T) and LMG 31524 represent a novel species of the genus Roseomonas. Genome analysis of the new strains showed a number of genes involved in survival in the rhizosphere environment and in plant colonization and confirmed the endophytic characteristics of LMG 31523(T) and LMG 31524. Since the strains LMG 31523(T) and LMG 31524 were isolated from a plant collected in Greece the name Roseomonas hellenica sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is LMG 31523(T) (=CECT 30032(T)).
