Abstract
A Gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacteria was isolated from a nitrifying inoculum. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, this strain, designated LMG 22951T, was shown to belong to the ‘Alphaproteobacteria’ and to be related to Devosia neptuniae (97·4 %) and Devosia riboflavina (97·0 %). The results of DNA–DNA hybridization, analysis of fatty acid composition, SDS-PAGE, physiological and biochemical tests allowed genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of LMG 22951T from the two recognized Devosia species. LMG 22951T therefore represents a novel species within this genus, for which the name Devosia limi is proposed. The type strain is LMG 22951T (=DSM 17137T).
