Abstract
In 2016, as a subset study to discover indigenous prokaryotic species in Korea, a total of 15 bacterial strains were isolated and assigned to the class Betaproteobacteria. From the high 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (>98.8%) and formation of a robust phylogenetic clade with the closest species, it was determined that each strain belonged to each independent and predefined bacterial species. There is no official report that these 15 species have been described in Korea; therefore, 1 strain of the Aquitalea, 5 strains of the Paraburkholderia, 2 strains of the Comamonas, 1 strain of the Cupriavidus, 1 strain of the Diaphorobacter, 2 strains of the Hydrogenophaga, 1 strain of the Iodobacter, 1 strain of the Massilia and 1 strain of the Rhodoferax within the Betaproteobacteria are described for unreported bacterial species in Korea. Gram reaction, colony and cell morphology, basic biochemical characteristics, and isolation sources are also described in the species description section.
