Endophytic Bacterium Flexivirga meconopsidis sp. nov. with Plant Growth-Promoting Function, Isolated from the Seeds of Meconopsis integrifolia.

ABSTRACT: Strain Q11^T of an irregular coccoid Gram-positive bacterium, aerobic and non-motile, was isolated from Meconopsis integrifolia seeds. Strain Q11^T grew optimally in 1% (w/v) NaCl, pH 7, at 30 °C. Strain Q11^T is most closely related to Flexivirga, as evidenced by 16S rRNA gene analysis, and shares the highest similarity with Flexivirga aerilata ID2601S^T (99.24%). Based on genome sequence analysis, the average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values of strains Q11^T and D2601S^T were 88.82% and 36.20%, respectively. Additionally, strain Q11^T showed the abilities of nitrogen fixation and indole acetic acid production and was shown to promote maize growth under labo
