Pseudomonas flavocrustae sp. nov., an endophyte with plant growth promoting traits isolated from Passiflora incarnata.

ABSTRACT: A polyphasic approach was applied to characterize taxonomically a novel endophytic bacterial strain, designated as EP178^T, which was previously isolated from Passiflora incarnata leaves and characterized as plant-growth promoter. The strain EP178^T forms Gram stain-negative and rod-shaped cells, and circular and yellow-pigmented colonies. Its growth occurs at 10-37 °C, at pH 6.0-8.0, and tolerates up to 7% (w/v) NaCl. The major cellular fatty acids found were summed feature 8 (C_18:1 ω7c), summed feature 3 (C_16:1 ω6c /C_16:1 ω7c), and C_16:0, and the predominant ubiquinone was Q-9. The phylogenetic and nucleotide-similarity analysis with 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain EP178^T belongs to Pseudomonas genus. T
