Lelliottia wanjuensis sp. nov. Isolated from Korean Lettuce in Wanju, South Korea.

ABSTRACT: Ten Gram stain-negative, oxidase-negative, catalase-positive, rod-shaped strains were isolated from lettuce in the city Wanju in South Korea. Comparative 16S rRNA gene analysis and multilocus sequence analysis indicated that the strains grouped closely together with all other Lelliottia (L.)-type strains. The average nucleotide identity (ANI) comparisons of the isolates showed a high relationship between the strains, as the ANI values of all strains ranged from 91.01 to 91.31% when compared to the L. jeotgali-type strain PFL01^T. All isolates showed the highest genomic DNA sequence similarity to the L. jeotgali PFL01^T strain at 43.3% when compared with digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH). Strain V104_15^T of the proposed novel Lelliottia species showed 91.2%
