Jiella mangrovi sp. nov., a novel endophytic bacterium isolated from leaf of Rhizophora stylosa

A Gram-stain negative, non-motile, brilliant yellow and non-spore forming, coccoid- or short rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain KSK16Y-1 T , was isolated from surface-sterilised leaf of Rhizophora stylosa collected from Shankou Mangrove Nature Reserve, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China. Genome of strain KSK16Y-1 T is 4.93 Mb with 68.1% DNA G + C content and encoded 4359 predicted proteins, 4 rRNAs, 45 tRNAs and 4 ncRNA. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that the strain KSK16Y-1 T has 98.1%, 97.9% and 96.9% 16S rRNA gene similarities with Jiella aquimaris JCM 30119 T , J. endophytica CBS5Q-3 T and J. pacifica 40Bstr34 T , respectively. Whole-genome comparisons between strain KSK16Y-1 T and J. aquimaris 22II-16-19i, J. endophytica CBS5Q-3 T , J. pacifica 40Bstr34 T , using average nucleotide identity (ANI) values (
