the DNA–DNA relatedness of
strain SA33T to 7A078 and these three type strains were respectively 90, 47, 46 and 45 %. The
results of physiological and biochemical tests, including whole-cell protein pattern analysis,
allowed phenotypic differentiation of these strains from described Burkholderia species.
Therefore, strains SA33T and 7A078 represent a novel species, for which the name Burkholderia
acidipaludis sp. nov. is proposed.
