A Gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacteria was isolated from a nitrifying inoculum. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, this strain, designated LMG 22951^T, was shown to belong to the ‘Alphaproteobacteria’ and to be related to Devosia neptuniae (97·4 %) and Devosia riboflavina (97·0 %). The results of DNA–DNA hybridization, analysis of fatty acid composition, SDS-PAGE, physiological and biochemical tests allowed genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of LMG 22951^T from the two recognized Devosia species. LMG 22951^T therefore represents a novel species within this genus, for which the name Devosia limi is proposed. The type strain is LMG 22951^T (=DSM 17137^T).

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain LMG 22951^T is AJ786801.
