Diversity of bacteria associated with corn roots inoculated with Canadian woodland soils, and description of Pseudomonas aylmerense sp. nov.

ABSTRACT: Bacteria associated with corn roots inoculated with soils collected from the Canadian woodlands were isolated and characterized. Genus-level identification based on 16S rRNA sequence analysis classified the 161 isolates in 19 genera. The majority (64%) of the isolates were affiliated with the genus Pseudomonas. Further analysis of the Pseudomonas isolates based on BLASTn and rpoD-rpoB-gyrB concatenated gene phylogeny revealed three unique clusters that could not be assigned to known species. This study reports the taxonomic description of one of the distinct lineages represented by two strains (S1E40^T and S1E44) with P. lurida LMG 21995^T, P. costantinii LMG 22119^T, P. palleroniana LMG 23076^T
