Abstract
A polyphasic taxonomic approach was used to characterize a nitrogen-fixing bacterium, designated strain CC-HIH110T, isolated from paddy soil in Taiwan. Cells of strain CC-HIH110T were Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, motile with polar flagella, catalase-positive and oxidase-positive. Optimal growth occurred at 30 °С, pH 7 and 1 % NaCl. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA genes revealed a distinct taxonomic position attained by strain CC-HIH110T associated with Rhizobium oryziradicis (98.4 % sequence identity), Allorhizobium vitis (97.8 %), Allorhizobium taibaishanense (97.7 %) and Allorhizobium undicola (96.0 %), and lower sequence similarity to other species. Average nucleotide identity (ANI) and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) values between strain CC-HIH110T and the type strains of other closely related species were 71.5-88.6 % and 19.6-35.5 %, respectively. Strain CC-HIH110T contained C16 : 0 3-OH, C14 : 0 3-OH/iso C16 : 1 I and C18 : 1 ω7c/C18 : 1 ω6c as the predominant fatty acids. The polar lipid profile consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine, phosphatidyldimethylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, three unknown aminophospholipids, two unknown phospholipids and an unknown lipid. The major polyamine was homospermidine. The DNA G+C content was 55.0 mol% and the predominant quinone was ubiquinone (Q-10). Based on its distinct phylogenetic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic traits together with results of comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence, ANI and dDDH analyses, strain CC-HIH110T is proposed to represent a novel Allorhizobium species, for which the name Allorhizobium terrae sp. nov. (type strain CC-HIH110T=BCRC 80932T=JCM 31228T). In addition, Rhizobium oryziradicis is reclassified as Allorhizobium oryziradicis (type strain N19T=ACCC 19962T=KCTC 52413T) comb. nov.
