Description of Clavibacter zhangzhiyongii sp. nov., a phytopathogenic actinobacterium isolated from barley seeds, causing leaf brown spot and decline.

ABSTRACT: Clavibacter michiganensis is a Gram-stain-positive bacterium with eight subspecies, five of which have been redefined as different species on the basis of their genome sequence data. On the basis of the results of phylogenetic analysis of dnaA gene sequences, strains of members of the genus Clavibacter isolated from barley have been grouped in a separate clade from other species and subspecies of the genus Clavibacter. In this study, the biochemical, physiological, fatty acids and genetic characteristics of strains DM1^T and DM3, which represented the barley isolates, were examined. On the basis of results from multi-locus sequence typing and other biochemical and physiological features, including colony colour, carbon source utilisation and enzyme act
