Photorhabdus viridis sp. nov. Isolated from Heterorhabditis zealandica Entomopathogenic Nematodes.

ABSTRACT: A novel bacterial species, Photorhabdus viridis sp. nov., represented by strain Green^T, isolated from Heterorhabditis zealandica MJ2C entomopathogenic nematodes, is described. Phylogenetic reconstructions using 16S rRNA gene sequences show that strain Green^T is closely related to P. thracensis DSM 15199 ^T. The 16rRNA gene sequences of these two strains are 98.8% identical. Phylogenetic reconstructions using whole-genome sequences show that strain Green^T is closely related to P. tasmaniensis DSM 22387 ^T, P. thracensis DSM 15199 ^T, and P. temperata DSM 14550 ^T. Digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) values between strain Green^T and its three more close relative species, P. tasmaniensis DSM 22387 ^T
