Pseudomonas coronafaciens sp. nov., a new phytobacterial species diverse from Pseudomonas syringae.

ABSTRACT: We propose Pseudomonas coronafaciens sp. nov. as a new species in genus Pseudomonas, which is diverse from P. syringae. We also classified strains from onions which are responsible for yellow bud (YB) disease as P. coronafaciens. Sequencing of 16S rRNA gene and multi-locus sequence analysis (MLSA) of housekeeping genes (gyrB, rpoD, gltA and gap1 genes) for the P. syringae pv. coronafaciens strains along with other strains of P. syringae pathovars resulted in a distinct cluster separate from other P. syringae pathovars. Based on DNA-DNA relatedness, pathotype strain of P. syringae pv. coronafaciens (CFBP 2216PT) exhibited ≤35.5% similarity with the pathotype strains of P. syringae pv. syringae (CFBP 1392PT, 4702T) but exhibited ≥90.6% with the YB strains (YB 12-1, YB 12-4, YB 09-1).
