Bacterial strains from inoculated soybean field soil in Thailand were directly isolated using Bradyrhizobium japonicum selective medium (BJSM), on the basis of Zn2+ and Co2+ resistance of B. japonicum and B. elkanii. The isolates were classified into symbiotic and non-symbiotic groups by inoculation assays and Southern hybridization of nod and nif genes. In this study, a nearly full-length 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that the non-symbiotic isolates were more closely related to members of Rhodopseudomonas and to a number of uncultured bacterial clones than to members of Bradyrhizobium. Therefore, a polyphasic study was performed to determine the taxonomic positions of four representatives of the non-symbiotic isolates. Multilocus phylogenetic analysis of individual genes and a combination of the 16S rRNA and three housekeeping genes (atpD, recA and glnII) supported the placement of the non-symbiotic isolates in a different genus. The ability of heavy metal resistance in conjunction with phenotypic analyses, including cellular fatty acid content and biochemical characteristics, showed that the non-symbiotic isolates were differentiated from the other related genera in the family Bradyrhizobiaceae. Therefore, the non-symbiotic isolates represented a novel genus and species, for which the name Metalliresistens boonkerdii gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NS23 (= NBRC 106595T = BCC 40155T).
