Plant growth-promoting rhizobacterial strain FP607T was isolated from the rhizosphere of beets in Wuhan, China. Strain FP607T exhibited significant antagonism toward several phytopathogenic bacteria, indicating that FP607T may produce antimicrobial metabolites and has a stronger biocontrol efficacy against plant pathogens. Growth-promoting tests showed that FP607T produced indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), NH3, and ferritin. The genome sequence of strain FP607T was 6,590,972 bp long with 59.0% G + C content. The optimum temperature range was 25–30 °C, and the optimum pH was 7. The cells of strain FP607T were Gram-negative, short, and rod-shaped, with polar flagella. The colonies on the King’s B (KB) agar plates were light yellow, smooth, and circular, with regular edges. A phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA sequence and a multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) showed that strain FP607T was most closely related to the type of strain Pseudomonas farris SWRI79T. Based on a polyphasic taxonomic approach, strain FP607T was identified as a novel species within the genus Pseudomonas, for which the name Pseudomonas wuhanensis sp. nov. was proposed. The type of strain used was FP607T (JCM 35688, CGMCC 27743, and ACCC 62446). |
