Isolation, Identification and Characterization of Endophytic Bacterium Rhizobium oryzihabitans sp. nov., from Rice Root with Biotechnological Potential in Agriculture.

ABSTRACT: A flagellate, rod-shaped bacterium designated strain M15^T was isolated from rice roots. Phylogenetic analysis based on the sequences of the 16S rRNA, housekeeping genes and genomes showed that the isolate belonged to the genus Rhizobium, with the highest 16S rRNA similarity to Rhizobium radiobacter LMG140^T (99.64%) and Rhizobium pusense NRCPB10^T (99.36%), respectively. The complete genome of the strain M15^T has a 59.28% G+C content, and the highest average nucleotide identity (ANI) and DNA-DNA relatedness (DDH) values were obtained with R. radiobacter LMG140^T (88.11%, 54.80%), R. pusense NRCPB10^T (86.00%, 53.00%) and R. nepotum 39/7^T (88.80%, 49.80%), respectively.
