Gibbsiella

Brady, Carrie; Coutinho, Teresa

Abstract

The genus Gibbsiella includes species isolated from bacterial cankers of woody hosts including oak, walnut, olive, pear and apple trees, as well as oral cavities of bears and intestinal tracts of insects. Cells are Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, non-motile, rods which appear singly, in pairs or groups. Species are mesophilic, favouring growth temperatures of 28 – 30 °C. Carbon sources including glucose, fructose, arabinose, galactose, mannose, and maltose are readily assimilated and fermented. Species form a monophyletic clade when phylogenetic analysis is based on 16S rRNA gene sequences or multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA). Major fatty acids are C14:0, C16:0, C18:1 ω7c, C17:0 cyclo and summed features 2 (iso-C16:1 and/or C14:0 3-OH) and 3 (C16:1 ω7c and/or iso-C15:0 2-OH) and the DNA G + C content is 55.7 – 57.4 mol % (Tm).

Type species: Gibbsiella quercinecans Brady et al. 2011VP.
