Abstract

A Gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming and nitrogen-fixing bacterium, designated ICB 89T, was isolated from stems of a Brazilian sugar cane variety widely used in organic farming. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain ICB 89T belonged to the genus Stenotrophomonas and was most closely related to Stenotrophomonas maltophilia LMG 958T, Stenotrophomonas rhizophila LMG 22075T, Stenotrophomonas nitritireducens L2T, [Pseudomonas] geniculata ATCC 19374T, [Pseudomonas] hibiscicola ATCC 19867T and [Pseudomonas] beteli ATCC 19861T. DNA–DNA hybridization together with chemotaxonomic data and biochemical characteristics allowed the differentiation of strain ICB 89T from its nearest phylogenetic neighbours. Therefore, strain ICB 89T represents a novel species, for which the name Stenotrophomonas pavanii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is ICB 89T ( = CBMAI 564T  = LMG 25348T).
