<i>Collimonas rhizosphaerae</i> sp. nov., a novel species isolated from the beech rhizosphere.

ABSTRACT: Bacterial strain H4R21^T was isolated from beech rhizosphere soil sampled in the forest experimental site of Montiers (Meuse, France). It effectively weathers minerals, hydrolyses chitin and produces quorum sensing signal molecules. The strain is aerobic and Gram-stain-negative. Phylogenetic analysis based on its 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that strain H4R21^T belongs to the genus Collimonas with high sequence similarity to C. arenae Ter10^T (99.38 %), C. fungivorans Ter6^T(98.97 %), C. pratensis Ter91^T (98.76 %), C. humicola RLT1W51^T (98.46 %) and C. silvisoli RXD178 ^T (98.46 %), but less than 98 % similarity to other strains of the genus Collimonas.
