Abstract
Three Gramnegative facultatively anaerobic bacterial isolates were obtained from the fruiting bodies of the edible mushroom Hericium erinaceus showing symptoms of soft rot disease in Beijing China Sequences of partial 16S rRNA gene placed these isolates in the genus Pantoea Multilocus sequence analysis based on the partial sequences of atpD gyrB infB and rpoB revealed P eucalypti and P anthophila as their closest phylogenetic relatives and indicated that these isolates constituted a possible novel species DNA–DNA hybridization studies confirmed the classification of these isolates as a novel species and phenotypic tests allowed for differentiation from the closest phylogenetic neighbours The name Pantoea hericii sp nov Type strain LMG 28847T = CGMCC 115224T = JZB 2120024T is proposedThis work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China NSFC 31401929 Beijing Academy of Agriculture and Forestry Sciences KJCX20150401 and KJCX20140102 and Beijing Innovation Consortium of Agriculture Research System Grant No BAIC052016
