Abstract

A Gramnegative coccobacilli nonspore forming and nonmotile bacterium designated PN1T was isolated from a banana leaf collected in Mattra island Thailand This isolate was observed to grow optimally at 30 °C and pH 70 and to grow with 0–3  NaCl Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain PN1T is closely related to members of the genus Roseomonas exhibiting the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Roseomonas aestuarii JC17T 965  The DNA G + C content of strain PN1T was determined to be 697 mol  Based on physiological and biochemical tests and genotypic differences between strain PN1T and the validly named species of the genus Roseomonas it is proposed that the strain be classified as a new species of Roseomonas for which the name Roseomonas musae sp nov is proposed The type strain is PN1T = BCC 44863T = NBRC 107870TThis research was supported by the scholarship to promote international publication from Graduate School Kasetsart University to P Nutaratat This work was also supported by the Higher Education Research Promotion and National Research University Project of Thailand Office of the Higher Education Commission The authors would also like to thank Professor J P Euzéby for advice on naming the species
