<i>Xanthomonas bundabergensis</i> sp. nov., <i>Xanthomonas medicagonis</i> sp. nov. and <i>Xanthomonas tesorieronis</i> sp. nov.: three members of group 1 <i>Xanthomonas</i>.

ABSTRACT: Between 1976 and 2010, four bacterial isolates were collected in New South Wales and Queensland, Australia, and stored as part of routine biosecurity surveillance. Recently, these historic isolates were analysed as part of a larger project to enhance the taxonomic accuracy of our culture collection and improve Australia's biosecurity preparedness. Three isolates were collected from Fragaria × ananassa, initially identified as Xanthomonas sp., and one from Medicago sativa, identified as Xanthomonas axonopodis subsp. alfalfae. In this study, we employed modern phenotypic and genomic techniques to further characterize these isolates. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight MS biotyping and Biolog GEN III MicroPlates confirmed that they are
