Abstract (eng)
The results of this study obtained from the analysis of polar lipids and partial gyrB and lepA housekeeping genes of Telluria chitinolytica CIP 104069ᵀ and Telluria mixta CCUG 35206ᵀ form a basis for merging of the genera Massilia and Telluria. Furthermore, the isolates NS9, Oxalobacteraceae bacterium Ma and E-JS-7 should be considered as new species of the Massilia/ Telluria group. The partial sequence similarities in 16S rRNA, gyrB and lepA genes identified members of the Massilia/ Telluria group as next relatives. Based on 16S rRNA (1327 bp) sequence similarities (>97.0 %) and 16S rRNA (1327 bp) based phylogenetic analyses, the species T. mixta CCUG 35206T was shown to be the closest relative of the isolate Oxalobacteraceae bacterium Ma; M. aerilata 5516S-11T to be the closest relative of the isolate NS9 and T. chitinolytica CIP 104069T to be the closest related species of the isolate E-JS-7. The affiliation of the isolates Oxalobacteraceae bacterium Ma, NS9 and E-JS-7 to the Massilia/ Telluria group could also be demonstrated on the basis of partial lepA and gyrB nucleotide and protein sequence similarities and corresponding phylogenetic trees. The phylogenetic positioning of the isolates Oxalobacteraceae bacterium Ma, NS9 and E-JS-7 within the gyrB and lepA nucleotide and protein phylogenetic trees matched quite well to the 16S rRNA phylogeny, though several exceptions were found.
