A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped, catalase-positive and oxidase-positive bacteria (THG-T61T), was isolated from rhizosphere of Hibiscus syriacus. Growth occurred at 10-37 °C (optimum 25-30 °C), at pH 5.0-9.0 (optimum 7.0) and in the presence of 0-2.0 % NaCl (optimum without
A Gram-stain negative, aerobic, motile by flagella, rod-shaped strain (THG-T16T) was isolated from rhizosphere of Hibiscus syriacus. Growth occurred at 10-40 °C (optimum 28-30 °C), at pH 6.0-8.0 (optimum 7.0) and at 0-1.0% NaCl (optimum 0%). Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, the near
