title: Sphingobium soli sp. nov. isolated from rhizosphere soil of a rose.
abstract: Strain THG-SQA7(T), a Gram-negative, strictly aerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium was isolated from rhizosphere soil of a rose in PR China. Strain THG-SQA7(T) is closely related to the members of the genus Sphingobium, showing the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities with Sphingobium lactosutens KACC 18100(T) (98.2%) and Sphingobium abikonense KCTC 2864(T) (98.1%). The DNA-DNA relatedness between strain THG-SQA7(T) and S. lactosutens KACC 18100(T) and S. abikonense KCTC 2864(T) was 26.2 ± 0.9 and 28.3 ± 1.2%, respectively. Chemotaxonomic data showed that strain THG-SQA7(T) possesses ubiquinone Q-10 as the predominant respiratory quinone, and C(18:1)ω7c, C(16:0), summed feature 3 (C(16:1)ω7c and/or C(16:1)ω6c) and C(14:0) 2OH as the major fatty acids. The major polar lipids were found to be phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, sphingoglycolipid, diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidyldimethylethanolamine. Based on these results, together with phenotypic characterization, a novel species, Sphingobium soli sp. nov. is proposed.with the type strain is THG-SQA7(T) (=CCTCC AB 2015125(T) = KCTC 42607(T)).
