Abstract
- There are numerous species in the Erwiniaceae family that are important for agricultural and clinical purposes. Here we described the Erwiniaceae bacterium PD-1 isolated from mushroom (Pleurotus eryngii) compost. Comparative genomic and phylogenetic analyses showed that the strain PD-1 was assigned to a new genus and species, Paramixta manurensis gen. nov., sp. nov. in the family Erwiniaceae. From the average amino acid index, we identified the five AroBEKAC proteins in the shikimate pathway as a minimal set of molecular markers to reconstruct the phylogenetic tree of the Erwiniaceae species. The strain PD-1 containing annotated genes for ubiquinone and menaquinone produced a higher level of ubiquinone (Q8) than demethylmenaquinone (DMK8) and menaquinone (MK8) in anaerobic condition compared to aerobic condition, as similarly did the reference strains from the genera Mixta and Erwinia. Results from fatty acid methyl ester and numerical analyses of strain PD-1 showed a similarity to species of the genera Mixta and Winslowiella. This study revealed that the strain's ability to utilize polyols, such as glycerol, erythritol, and d-arabitol, distinguished the strain PD-1 from the nearest relative and other type strains. The analyzed genetic markers and biochemical properties of the strain PD-1 suggest its potential role in the process of mushroom compost through the degradation of carbohydrates and polysaccharides derived from fungi and plants. Additionally, it can produce a high concentration of indole-3-acetic acid as a plant growth-promoting agent. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
