Characterization of Sinomonas gamaensis sp. nov., a Novel Soil Bacterium with Antifungal Activity against Exserohilum turcicum.

ABSTRACT: A novel Gram staining positive, aerobic bacterium NEAU-HV1^T that exhibits antifungal activity against Exserohilum turcicum was isolated from a soil collected from Gama, Hadjer lamis, Chad. It was grown at 10-45 °C (optimum 30 °C), pH 5-10 (optimum pH 8), and 0-4% (w/v) NaCl (optimum 1%). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain NEAU-HV1^T was closely related to Sinomonas susongensis A31^T (99.24% sequence similarity), Sinomonas humi MUSC 117^T (98.76%), and Sinomonas albida LC13^T (98.68%). The average nucleotide identity values between NEAU-HV1^T and its most closely related species were 79.34-85.49%. The digital DNA-DNA hybridization values between NEAU-HV1^T
