ABSTRACT
A Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped and aerobic bacterium, designated CL12T, was isolated from roots of Glycine max (Linn. Merr.) collected from an experimental field in the campus of South China Agricultural University, PR China (22°58'46â³S, 110°51'10â³E). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain CL12T belongs to the genus Rhizobium, closely related to Rhizobium wuzhouense W44T (99.3%), followed by Rhizobium rosettiformans W3T (98.0%) and Rhizobium ipomoeae Shin9-1T (97.9%). The results of analysis of sequences of four housekeeping genes (recA, atpD, rpoB and glnA) also revealed strain CL12T to be closely related to R. wuzhouense W44T with the similarities 91.0%, 95.0%, 94.2% and 90.5%, respectively. The major fatty acid of strain CL12T was Summed Feature 8 (C181ω7c and/or C181ω6c). Strain CL12T had not the nodulation genes (nodC and nodA) and nitrogenase reductase gene (nifH), and could not cause formation of nodule on soybean. The draft genome size of strain CL12T was 4.84 Mbp with a genomic DNA G + C content of 61.1 mol%. The digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) and average nucleotide identity (ANI) of strain CL12T and R. wuzhouense W44T were 27.4% and 84.7%, respectively. Based on genomic, phenotypic and phylogenetic analysis, strain CL12T is suggested to represent a new species of the genus Rhizobium, for which the name Rhizobium glycinendophyticum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CL12T (=GDMCC 1.1597T = KACC 21281T).
