Robbsia betulipollinis sp. nov., Isolated from Pollen of Birch (Betula pendula).

ABSTRACT: One gram-negative strain designated Bb-Pol-6 ^T was isolated from birch (Betula pendula) pollen at Giessen area, Germany. The analysis of 16S rRNA gene-based phylogenies indicated the next-relative genera were Robbsia, Chitinasiproducens, Pararobbsia and Paraburkholderia (96-95.6%). Further comparative genome analysis and phylogenetic tree-based methods revealed its phylogenetic position under the genus Robbsia. The genome of strain Bb-Pol-6 ^T was 5.04 Mbp with 4401 predicted coding sequences and a G + C content of 65.31 mol%. Average amino acid identity, average nucleotide identity, digital DNA-DNA hybridization and percentage of conserved proteins values to Robbsia andropogonis DSM 9511 ^T were 68.0, 72.5, 22.7 and 65.85%, respectively. Strain Bb-Pol-6
