Results of initial 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis assigned both strains into the genus Pseudomonas and showed Pseudomonas yamanorum 8H1(T) as their closest neighbour with 99.8 and 99.7% 16S rRNA gene similarities to strains HJ/4(T) and SJ/9/1(T). respectively. Subsequent sequence analysis of rpoD, rpoB and gyrB housekeeping genes confirmed the highest similarity of both isolates to P. yamanorum 8H1(T). but phylogeny and sequences similarities implied that they are representatives of two novel species within the genus Pseudomonas. Further study comprising whole-genome sequencing followed by average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization calculations, repetitive sequence-based PCR fingerprinting with the REP and ERIC primers, automated ribotyping with the EcoRl restriction endonuclease, cellular fatty acid analysis, quinone and polar lipid characterization, and extensive biotyping confirmed clear separation of both analysed strains from the remaining Pseudomonas species and showed that they represent two novel species within the genus Pseudomonas for which the names Pseudomonas karstica sp. nov. (type strain HJ/4(T) =CCM 7891(T) =LMG 27930(T)) and Pseudomonas spelaei sp. nov. (type strain SJ/9/1(T)=CCM 7893(T)=LMG 27931(T)) are suggested. date: 2020-09 date_type: published publication: International journal of systematic and evolutionary microbiology volume: 70 number: 9 publisher: International Union of Microbiological Societies pagerange: 5131-5140 refereed: TRUE issn: 1466-5034 official_url: https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijsem.0.004393 citation: Svec, Pavel and Kosina, Marcel and Zeman, Michal and Holochova, Pavla and Kralova, Stanislava and Nemcova, Eva and Micenkova, Lenka and Urvashi, . and Gupta, Vipin and Sood, Utkarsh and Lal, Rup and Korpole, Suresh (2020) Pseudomonas karstica sp. nov. and Pseudomonas spelaei sp. nov., isolated from calcite moonmilk deposits from caves.
