摘要: Fourteen strains were isolated from nitrogen-fixing nodules on the roots of plants genus Mimosa growing in Taiwan, Brazil and Venezuela. On basis 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities, all previously shown to be closely related each other belong Burkholderia. A polyphasic approach, including DNA–DNA reassociation, whole-cell protein analysis, fatty acid methyl ester analysis extensive biochemical characterization, was used clarify taxonomic position these strains: 14 classified as representing a novel species, for which name Burkholderia mimosarum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain, PAS44T (=LMG 23256T =BCRC 17516T), pigra Taiwan.
