“…Major fatty acids are iso-C 16 : 0 , anteiso-C 15 : 0 and C 16 : 0 and the predominant polar lipids are diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine (Kämpfer et al, 2006). At present, the genus contains 21 species with validly published names, Cohnella hongkongensis and C. thermotolerans (Kämpfer et al, 2006), C. laeviribosi (Cho et al, 2007), C. phaseoli (García-Fraile et al, 2008), C. damuensis (Luo et al, 2010), C. fontinalis (Shiratori et al, 2010), C. ginsengisoli and C. yongneupensis (Kim et al, 2010), C. luojiensis (Cai et al, 2010), C. thailandensis (Khianngam et al, 2010a), C. terrae and C. xylanilytica (Khianngam et al, 2010b), C. panacarvi (Yoon et al, 2007), C. cellulosilytica (Khianngam et al, 2012), C. soli and C. suwonensis (Kim et al, 2012), C. boryungensis (Yoon & Jung, 2012), C. arctica (Jiang et al, 2012), C. formosensis (Hameed et al, 2013), C. lupini (Flores-Félix et al, 2014) and C. ferri (Mayilraj et al, 2011), as well as 'Cohnella plantaginis' , the name of which has not yet been validly published. Most of the type strains were isolated from different soils (Yoon et al, 2007;Cai et al, 2010;Kim et al, 2010;Kim et al, 2012;Jiang et al, 2012;Yoon & Jung 2012;Khianngam et al, 2010a, b); some were isolated from the rhizosphere (Hameed et al, 2013) or endophytic compartments, root nodules, of plants (FloresFélix et al, 2014;García-Fraile et al, 2008).…”
