Phylogenetic analysis of Chinese isolates of the citrus Huanglongbing (HLB) bacterium based on the 16S rDNA and 16S/23S rDNA intergenic regions sequences was carried out. Nine HLB samples collected from different hosts with different symptoms in seven Chinese provinces, were subjected to PCR for amplifying and sequencing the 16S rDNA. The identity level among Chinese isolates was 98.5% to 100% and was the same with the Indian HLB isolate ‘Poona’ (GenBank accession number: L22532). By contrast, identity values were 97.5% to 97.8% withCandidatus Liberibacter africanusstrain ‘Nelspruit’ (L22533), 96.3% to 97.3% withCa. L. africanussubsp. ‘Capensis’ (AF137368), 95.3% to 96.5% with theCa. Liberibactersp. ‘LSg2’ (AY919312), and 94.9% to 96.0% with a strain ofCa. L.americanusfrom Brazil (São Paulo State; AY742824). A phylogenetic tree constructed with 16S rDNA sequences showed that all Chinese isolates belong toCa. L. asiaticum. Analysis of the 16S/23S rDNA intergenic region was conducted on 18 HLB-diseased citrus samples with different symptoms, collected in seven provinces. These isolates showed no obvious variation and had an identity level >99.0% with one another. Sequence analysis of 16S/23S rDNA intergenic region and the relative phylogenetic tree showed that the Chinese isolates are very close toCa. L. asiaticus, and distinct fromCa. L.africanusandCa. L.americanus. These results suggest that the Chinese HLB isolates belong to the speciesCandidatus Liberibacter asiaticus. This is the first report on the classification of HLB isolates from China based on molecular investigations.
