Xenorhabdus bharatensis sp. nov., Xenorhabdus entomophaga sp. nov., Xenorhabdus siamensis sp. nov., and Xenorhabdus thailandensis sp. nov. Isolated from Steinernema Entomopathogenic Nematodes.

ABSTRACT: Four Gram-stain-negative bacterial strains, CS20^T, AUT15.5^T, XENO-11^T, and CCN3.3^T, isolated from Steinernema entomopathogenic nematodes, were found to represent novel species within the genus Xenorhabdus (Gammaproteobacteria, Morganellaceae). In this study, we described these new species using whole-genome phylogenomic reconstructions, sequence identity values from core genome sequences, and phenotypic characterization. Phylogenetic reconstructions based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that: (i) strain CS20^T is closely related to X. stockiae DSM 17904^T, (ii) strain AUT15.5^T is closely related to X. budapestensis DSM 16342^T, (iii) strain XENO-11^T is closely related to X. khoisanae DSM 25463
