Description Xanthomonas is a major group of pathogenic bacteria infecting staple food crops like rice. Increasingly it is being recognized that non-pathogenic Xanthomonas (NPX) are also important members of a healthy plant microbiome. However, the vast majority of the species described in this genus are of pathogenic nature, and only a few NPX species have been reported till now. Genomic and taxonogenomic analysis of NPX is needed for the management of this important group of bacteria. In this study, two yellow-pigmented bacterial isolates were obtained from healthy rice seeds in Punjab, India. The isolates designated PPL560T and PPL568 were identified as members of the genus Xanthomonas based on biochemical tests and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis retrieved from the whole-genome sequences. Isolates formed a distinct monophyletic lineage with Xanthomonas sontii and Xanthomonas sacchari as the closest relatives in the phylogenetic tree based on core gene content shared by the representative species of the genus Xanthomonas. Pairwise ortho Average Nucleotide Identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values calculated against other species of Xanthomonas were below their respective cut-offs. In planta studies revealed that PPL560T and PPL568 are non-pathogenic to rice plants upon leaf clip inoculation. The absence of type III secretion system-related genes and effectors further supported their non-pathogenic status. Herein, we propose Xanthomonas indica sp. nov. as novel species of the genus Xanthomonas with PPL560T = MTCC 13185 = CFBP 9039 = ICMP 24394 as its type strain and PPL568 as another constituent member.
