Microvirga calopogonii sp. nov., a novel alphaproteobacterium isolated from a root nodule of Calopogonium mucunoides in Southwest China

In this study, a Gram-negative, rod-shaped, and non-spore-forming bacterium, which was designated as strain CCBUA 65841 T , was isolated from a root nodule of Calopogonium mucunoides grown in Yunan Province of China. The sequence alignment results of 16S rRNA and four housekeeping genes (including g...

Description
Summary:In this study, a Gram-negative, rod-shaped, and non-spore-forming bacterium, which was designated as strain CCBUA 65841 T , was isolated from a root nodule of Calopogonium mucunoides grown in Yunan Province of China. The sequence alignment results of 16S rRNA and four housekeeping genes (including gyrB , recA , dnaK and rpoB ) indicated the isolated strain is a member of the genus Microvirga , closely related to Microvirga lotononidis WSM3557 T . In addition, results of genome average nucleotide identity (ANI) and digital DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH) had revealed the lower values (ANI ≤ 88.72%, dDDH ≤ 39.5%) between strain CCABU 65841 T and other related Microvirga species. The genome of the novel strain exhibits a G + C content of 64.48% and contains 7296 protein-coding genes and 93 RNA genes. The major polar lipids were found to be phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine. The predominant cellar fatty acids were identified to be C16:0, C18:0, C19:0 cyclo ω8c, summed feature 2, summed feature 3 and summed feature 8. Moreover, menaquinone 8 (MK-8) was detected to be the predominant quinone. Based on the phylogenetic and phenotypic dissimilarity, a novel species Microvirga calopogonii sp. nov. is proposed with the type strain CCABU 65841 T (= LMG 25488 T  = HAMBI 3033 T ).
