The taxonomic status of a methyl-parathion-degrading strain, OP-1 T , isolated from wastewater-treatment system in China, was determined using polyphasic approach. rod-shaped cells were Gram-staining-negative, non-spore-forming and non-motile. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the novel strain belonged to genus Burkholderia as it appeared closely related glathei ATCC 29195 (97.4 % sequence similarity), sordidicola KCTC 12081 (96.5 %) bryophila LMG 23644 (96.3 %). major cellular fatty acids, C 16 : 0 17 cyclo 18 1 ω7 c also similar those found established members . genomic DNA G + content 59.4 mol%. level DNA–DNA relatedness between closest recognized species, only 30 %. Based phenotypic, genotypic phylogenetic evidence, represents species for which name zhejiangensis sp. nov. is proposed. type ( = CCTCC AB 2010354 23300 ).
