Xenorhabdus aichiensis sp. nov., Xenorhabdus anantnagensis sp. nov., and Xenorhabdus yunnanensis sp. nov., Isolated from Steinernema Entomopathogenic Nematodes.

ABSTRACT: Three bacterial strains, XENO-2^T, XENO-7^T, and XENO-10^T, isolated from Steinernema entomopathogenic nematodes, were found to represent novel Xenorhabdus species. In this study, we describe these new species by whole-genome and whole-proteome phylogenomic reconstructions, by calculating sequence identity scores using core genome sequences, and by phenotypic characterization. Phylogenomic reconstructions using ribosomal and house-keeping genes, and whole-genome and whole-proteome sequences show that XENO-2^T and XENO-10^T are closely related to Xenorhabdus japonica DSM 16522^T and that XENO-7^T is closely related to Xenorhabdus bovienii subsp. africana XENO-1^T and to X. bovienii subsp. bovienii T228^T
