gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel bacterium isolated from oak forest soil.

A novel bacterial strain, designated BS-T2-15, isolated from forest soil in close proximity to decaying oak wood, was characterized using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences as well as phylogenomic analyses based on coding sequences of 340 concatenated core proteins indicated that strain BS-T2-15 forms a distinct and robust lineage in the branch of the order . The amino acid identity and the percentage of conserved proteins between the genome of strain BS-T2-15 and genomes of closely related type strains ranged from 64.
