Rhizobium ruizarguesonis sp. nov., isolated from nodules of Pisum sativum L.

Four strains, coded as UPM1132, UPM1133T, UPM1134 and UPM1135, and isolated from nodules of Pisum sativum plants grown on Ni-rich soils were characterised through a polyphasic taxonomy approach. Their 16S rRNA gene sequences were identical and showed 100% similarity with their closest phylogenetic neighbors, the species included in the 'R. leguminosarum group': R. laguerreae FB206T, R. leguminosarum USDA 2370T, R. anhuiense CCBAU 23252T, R. sophoreae CCBAU 03386T, R. acidisoli FH13T and R. hidalgonense FH14T, and 99.6% sequence similarity with R. esperanzae CNPSo 668T. The analysis of combined housekeeping genes recA, atpD and glnII sequences showed similarities of 92-95% with the closest relatives. Whole genome average nucleotide identity (ANI) values were 97.5-99.7% ANIb similarity among the four strains, and less than 92.4% with closely related species, while digital DNA-DNA hybridization average values (dDDH) were 82-85% within our strains and 34-52% with closely related species. Major fatty acids in strain UPM1133T were C18:1 ω7c / C18:1 ω6c in summed feature 8, C14:0 3OH/ C16:1 iso I in summed feature 2 and C18:0. Colonies were small to medium, pearl-white coloured in YMA at 28°C and growth was observed in the ranges 8-34°C, pH 5.5-7.5 and 0-0.7% (w/v) NaCl. The DNA G+C content was 60.8mol %. The combined genotypic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic data support the classification of strains UPM1132, UPM1133T, UPM1134 and UPM1135 into a novel species of Rhizobium, for which the name Rhizobium ruizarguesonis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is UPM1133T (=CECT 9542T=LMG 30526T).

Rhizobium indicum sp. nov., isolated from root nodules of pea (Pisum sativum) cultivated in the Indian trans-Himalayas.

Three strains of rhizobia isolated from effective root nodules of pea (Pisum sativum L.) collected from the Indian trans-Himalayas were characterized using 16S rRNA, atpD and recA genes. Phylogeny of the 16S rRNA genes revealed that the newly isolated strains were members of the genus Rhizobium with ≥99.9% sequence similarity to the members within the "Rhizobium leguminosarum" group. Phylogenetic analyses based on the concatenated sequences of atpD and recA gene, and 92 core genes extracted from the genome sequences indicated that strains JKLM 12A2T and JKLM 13E are grouped as a separate clade closely related to R. laguerreae FB206T. In contrast, the strain JKLM 19E was placed with "R. hidalgonense" FH14T. Whole-genome average nucleotide identity (ANI) values were 97.6% within strains JKLM 12A2T and JKLM 13E, and less than 94% with closely related species. The digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) values were 81.45 within the two strains and less than 54.8% to closely related species. The major cellular fatty acids were C18:1w7c in summed feature 8, C14:0 3OH/C16:1 iso I in summed feature 2, and C18:0. The DNA G+C content of JKLM 12A2T and JKLM 13E was 60.8mol%. The data on genomic, chemotaxonomic, and phenotypic characteristics indicates that the strains JKLM 12A2T and JKLM 13E represent a novel species, Rhizobium indicum sp. nov. The type strain is JKLM 12A2T (= MCC 3961T=KACC 21380T=JCM 33658T). However, the strain JKLM 19E represents a member of "R. hidalgonense" and the symbiovar viciae.
