A Gram-negative, rod-shaped, aerobic bacterium, designated strain RP007T, was isolated from a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-contaminated soil in New Zealand. Two additional strains were recovered from a compost heap in Belgium (LMG 18808) and from the rhizosphere of maize in the Netherlands (LMG 24204). The three strains had virtually identical 16S rRNA gene sequences and whole-cell protein profiles, and they were identified as members of the genus Burkholderia, with Burkholderia phenazinium as their closest relative. Strain RP007T had a DNA G+C content of 63.5 mol% and could be distinguished from B. phenazinium based on a range of biochemical characteristics. Strain RP007T showed levels of DNA–DNA relatedness towards the type strain of B. phenazinium and those of other recognized Burkholderia species of less than 30 %. The results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, DNA–DNA hybridization experiments and physiological and biochemical tests allowed the differentiation of strain RP007T from all recognized species of the genus Burkholderia. Strains RP007T, LMG 18808 and LMG 24204 are therefore considered to represent a single novel species of the genus Burkholderia, for which the name Burkholderia sartisoli sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is RP007T (=LMG 24000T =CCUG 53604T =ICMP 13529T).

Abbreviations: PAH, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession numbers for the 16S rRNA gene sequences of strains RP007T, LMG 18808 and LMG 24204 are AF061872, AM745942 and EF635856, respectively.
