Abstract
Strain Q11T of an irregular coccoid Gram-positive bacterium, aerobic and non-motile, was isolated from Meconopsis integrifolia seeds. Strain Q11T grew optimally in 1% (w/v) NaCl, pH 7, at 30 °C. Strain Q11T is most closely related to Flexivirga, as evidenced by 16S rRNA gene analysis, and shares the highest similarity with Flexivirga aerilata ID2601ST (99.24%). Based on genome sequence analysis, the average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values of strains Q11T and D2601ST were 88.82% and 36.20%, respectively. Additionally, strain Q11T showed the abilities of nitrogen fixation and indole acetic acid production and was shown to promote maize growth under laboratory conditions. Its genome contains antibiotic resistance genes (the vanY gene in the vanB cluster and the vanW gene in the vanI cluster) and extreme environment tolerance genes (ectoine biosynthetic gene cluster). Shotgun proteomics also detected antibiotic resistance proteins (class A beta-lactamases, D-alanine ligase family proteins) and proteins that improve plant cold tolerance (multispecies cold shock proteins). Strain Q11T was determined to be a novel species of the genus Flexivirga, for which the name Flexivirga meconopsidis sp. nov. is proposed. The strain type is Q11T (GDMCC 1.3002T = JCM 36020 T).
