Title Microbacterium nymphoidis sp. nov. and Microbacterium festucae sp. nov., two novel species with high plant-promoting potential isolated from wetland plants in China.
Journal Int J Syst Evol Microbiol
Abstract Two novel plant growth-promoting, rod-shaped, Gram-positive and non-motile rhizobacteria, W1NT and W2RT, were isolated from wetland plants Festuca elata and Nymphoides peltatum, respectively, in China. The results of the 16S rRNA sequence alignment analysis showed that they were related to Microbacterium, with the highest similarity to Microbacterium ketosireducens (98.7 %) and Microbacterium laevaniformans (98.5 %) for strain W1NT, and to Microbacterium terricola (98.1 %) and Microbacterium marinum (98.0 %) for strain W2RT. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and 92 conserved concatenated proteins suggested that the two strains belong to the genus Microbacterium and were placed in two separate novel phylogenetic clades. The genome sizes of the two strains were 3.2 and 3.7 Mb, and the G+C contents were 71.7 and 68.5 mol%, respectively. The comparative genome results showed that the average nucleotide identity values between W1NT and W2RT and other species ranged from 73.5 to 83.6 %, and the digital DNA-DNA hybridization values ranged from 19.7 to 26.8 %. These two strains show physiological and biochemical features that differ from those of closely related species. Rhamnose, galactose and glucose were present in the characteristic sugar fractions of strains W1NT and W2RT. The peptidoglycan of strains W1NT and W2RT contained the amino acids ornithine, alanine and aspartic acid. C15 : 0 anteiso, C17 : 0 anteiso and C16 : 0 iso were the predominant cellular fatty acids in W1NT and W2RT. Phosphatidylglycerol and diphosphatidylglycerol are major polar lipid components. Strain W1NT not only formed bacterial biofilms but also had the ability to solubilize phosphorus and produce indole-3-acetic acid. Strain W2RT had siderophore-producing and lignin-degrading properties. Based on their genetic and phenotypic characteristics, strains W1NT and W2RT were classified as novel bacteria in the genus Microbacterium and designated as Microbacterium festucae sp. nov. (type strain W1NT=ACCC 61807T=GDMCC 1.2966T=JCM 35339T) and Microbacterium nymphoidis sp. nov. (type strain W2RT=ACCC 61808T=GDMCC 1.2967T=JCM 35340T).
