| Azospirillum formosense sp. nov., a novel diazotrophic bacterium isolated from agricultural soil. | A Gram-negative, spiral or rod-shaped, non-spore-forming diazotrophic bacterium (strain CC-Nfb-7T), was isolated from agricultural soil located in Yunlin County, Taiwan. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis of strain CC-Nfb-7T showed highest sequence similarity to Azospirillum brasilense DSM 1690T (97.4%), Azospirillum rugosum DSM 19657T (96.8%), and Azospirillum oryzae JCM 21588T (96.6%) and lower sequence similarity (< 96.5%) to all other Azospirillum species. DNA-DNA hybridizations of strain C ... | 2011 | 21742820 |
