<i>Acidovorax sacchari</i> sp. nov., a pathogen causing red stripe of sugarcane in Japan.

ABSTRACT: Phytopathogenic bacteria (MAFF 311311^T and MAFF 311313) were isolated from sugarcane plants exhibiting leaf stripe symptoms associated with red stripe disease in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan. The strains were Gram-reaction-negative, aerobic, motile with one polar flagellum, rod-shaped and non-spore-forming. The genomic DNA G+C content was 69.0 mol%, and the major cellular fatty acids (>10 % of the total fatty acids) included summed feature 3 (C_16 : 1  ω7c and/or C_16 : 1  ω6c), C_16 : 0 and summed feature 8 (C_18 : 1  ω7c and/or C_18 : 1  ω6c). Phylogenomic analyses using whole-genome sequences consistently placed these strains within the genus Acidovorax. However, their phylogenetic positions did
