| bacillus rhizosphaerae sp. nov., an novel diazotrophic bacterium isolated from sugarcane rhizosphere soil. | a gram-positive, non-pigmented, rod-shaped, diazotrophic bacterial strain, designated sc-n012(t), was isolated from rhizosphere soil of sugarcane and was subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. the strain exhibited phenotypic properties that included chemotaxonomic characteristics consistent with its classification in the genus bacillus. sequence analysis of the 16s rrna gene of sc-n012(t) revealed the closest match (98.9% pair wise similarity) with bacillus clausii dsm 8716(t). however, dna- ... | 2011 | 21671194 |
