Two rhizobial strains, Br3407T and Br3405, were isolated from nitrogen-fixing nodules on the roots of Mimosa caesalpiniifolia, a legume tree native to Brazil. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities, both strains were shown previously to belong to the genus Burkholderia. A polyphasic approach, including DNA–DNA hybridizations, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis of whole-genome DNA profiles, whole-cell protein analyses, fatty acid methyl ester analysis and extensive biochemical characterization, was used to clarify the taxonomic position of these strains further; the strains are here classified within a novel species, for which the name Burkholderia sabiae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is strain Br3407T (=LMG 24235T =BCRC 17587T).

Abbreviations: PFGE, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession numbers for the 16S rRNA gene sequences of strains Br3407T and Br3405 are respectively AY773186 and AY773185.

An extended neighbour-joining tree, detailed DNA–DNA hybridization results and fatty acid compositions of strain Br3407T and related strains are available as supplementary material with the online version of this paper.
