Lonsdalea

Brady, Carrie; Coutinho, Teresa

Abstract

The genus Lonsdalea comprises species isolated from bacterial cankers of woody hosts including oak, poplar and willow. Cells are Gram-negative, facultativley anaerobic, motile, short rods which appear singly or rarely in pairs. Species are mesophilic, favouring growth temperatures of 28 – 34 °C. Carbon sources such as glucose, fructose, mannose, sucrose and N-acetylglucosamine are readily assimilated and fermented. Species form a monophyletic clade when phylogenetic analysis is based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) or whole genome sequences. Major fatty acids are C14:0, C16:0, 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 55.0 – 55.6 mol % (genome analysis).

Type species: Lonsdalea quercina (Hildebrand & Schroth 1967) Brady et al. 2012VP.
