RESUMO
Previous studies have recognized South and Central/Latin American mimosoid legumes in the genera Mimosa, Piptadenia and Calliandra as hosts for various nodulating Paraburkholderia species. Several of these species have been validly named in the last two decades, e.g., P. nodosa, P. phymatum, P. diazotrophica, P. piptadeniae, P. ribeironis, P. sabiae and P. mimosarum. There are still, however, a number of diverse Paraburkholderia strains associated with these legumes that have an unclear taxonomic status. In this study, we focus on 30 of these strains which originate from the root nodules of Brazilian and Mexican Mimosa species. They were initially identified as P. tuberum and subsequently placed into a symbiovar (sv. mimosae) based on their host preferences. A polyphasic approach for the delineation of these strains was used, consisting of genealogical concordance analysis (using atpD, gyrB, acnA, pab and 16S rRNA gene sequences), together with comparisons of Average Nucleotide Identity (ANI), DNA G+C content ratios and phenotypic characteristics with those of the type strains of validly named Paraburkholderia species. Accordingly, these 30 strains were delineated into two distinct groups, of which one is conspecific with 'P. atlantica' CNPSo 3155T and the other new to Science. We propose the name Paraburkholderia youngii sp. nov. with type strain JPY169T (= LMG 31411T; SARCC751T) for this novel species.

Five strains, JPY461(T), JPY359, JPY389, DPU-3 and STM4206 were isolated from nitrogen-fixing nodules on the roots of Mimosa spp. and their taxonomic positions were investigated using a polyphasic approach. All five strains grew at 15-40 °C (optimum, 30-37 °C), at pH 4.0-8.0 (optimum, pH 6.0-7.0) and with 0-1â% (w/v) NaCl [optimum, 0â% (w/v)]. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, a representative strain (JPY461(T)) showed 97.2â% sequence similarity to the closest related species Burkholderia acidipaludis SA33(T), a similarity of 97.2â% to Burkholderia terrae KMY02(T), 97.1â% to Burkholderia phymatum STM815(T) and 97.1â% to Burkholderia hospita LMG 20598(T). The predominant fatty acids of the five novel strains were summed feature 2 (comprising C(16â:â1) iso I and/or C(14â:â0) 3-OH), summed feature 3 (comprising C(16â:â1)ω7c and/or C(16â:â1)ω6c), C(16â:â0) , C(16â:â0) 3-OH, C(17â:â0) cyclo, C(18â:â1)ω7c and C(19â:â0) cyclo ω8c. The major isoprenoid quinone was Q-8 and the DNA G+C content of the strains was 63.0-65.0 mol%. The polar lipid profile consisted of a mixture of phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, an unidentified aminophospholipid, an unidentified aminolipid and several unidentified phospholipids. The DNA-DNA relatedness of the novel strain with respect to recognized species of the genus Burkholderia was less than 54â%. On the basis of 16S rRNA and recA gene sequence similarities, chemotaxonomic and phenotypic data, the five strains represent a novel species in the genus Burkholderia, for which the name Burkholderia diazotrophica sp. nov. is proposed with the type strain, JPY461(T) (â=âLMG 26031(T)â=âBCRC 80259(T)â=âKCTC 23308(T)).
