Paraburkholderia tagetis sp. nov., a novel species isolated from roots of Tagetes patula enhances the growth and yield of Solanum lycopersicum L. (tomato).

ABSTRACT: A multifunctional, Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, motile by flagella, short-rod shaped bacteria, designated strain RG36^T was isolated from roots of marigold plant (Tagetes patula) sampled at Dongguk University, Republic of Korea. A 16S rRNA sequences indicated that the closest phylogenetic neighbors were Paraburkholderia acidiphila 7Q-K02^T (99.0%) and Paraburkholderia sacchari IPT101^T (98.9%) of the family Burkholderiaceae. The draft genome size was 8.52 Mb (63.7% GC). The genome contained 7,381 coding sequences. Digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) and average nucleotide identity (ANI) values of strain RG36^T with its most closely related species were only 83.1-88.7 and 27.6-36.7%, respectively. Strain RG36^T contain
