L. fem. n. oryza rice; L. neut. n. solum soil; N.L. masc. n. bacter rod; N.L. masc. n. Oryzisolibacter rod from rice crop bulk soil. Proteobacteria / Betaproteobacteria / Burkholderiales / Comamonadaceae / Oryzisolibacter Rods 1.9 ± 0.35‐μm long and 0.6 ± 0.04‐μm wide. Motile. Gram‐negative. Nonsporulating. Facultative aerobe. Nitrate is reduced to N2. Mesophilic, with the ability to grow between 15 and 37°C, pH 6–9, and at a NaCl concentration up to 4%. Chemoorganotroph, being able to assimilate glycerol, potassium gluconate, adipic acid, malic acid, and (trisodium) citrate. Catalase‐ and cytochrome c oxidase‐positive. The respiratory quinone is ubiquinone 8, and the major fatty acids are C18:1 ω7c, C16:0, and the summed feature 3 (C16:1 ω7c/iso‐C15:0 2‐OH). The major polar lipids are phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, and diphosphatidylglycerol. Isolated from rice paddy soil through an enrichment culture in the presence of propanil and 3,4‐dichloroaniline; the type strain of the type species Oryzisolibacter propanilivorax is able to degrade both compounds. DNA G+C content (mol%): 69.4 (HPLC) or 69.2 (genome analysis).
