<i>Dickeya ananae</i> sp. nov., pectinolytic bacterium isolated from pineapple (<i>Ananas comosus</i>).

ABSTRACT: Recently, species clustering within Dickeya zeae has been identified as complex, encompassing validly published names, including D. oryzae and D. parazeae, with some strains potentially delineating new species. In this study, genomes of strains isolated from a bacterial heart rot outbreak in pineapple (Ananas comosus var. comosus) on Oahu, Hawaii, along with two strains from pineapple in Malaysia, were sequenced. Orthologous average nucleotide identity (ANI) and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) values among the sequenced genomes ranged from 98.93-99.9% and 91.8-99.9%, respectively, supporting the classification of seven strains within the same species. Comparisons of ANI and dDDH values between these seven strains and type strains of D. zeae, D. pa
