| Abstract |
A Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, non-pigmented, strictly aerobic and non-motile short rod bacterium, designated NCCP-1258(T), was isolated from Cholistan desert soil, Bahawalpur, Pakistan. Growth of strain NCCP-1258(T) was observed at pH range 6.5-9.5 (optimum 7.5-8.5) and temperature range 20-45 °C (optimum 40 °C), and it tolerated 0-2 % NaCl (optimum 0.5 %, w/v). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence comparison revealed that strain NCCP-1258(T) belongs to genus Microvirga and is most closely related to Microvirga lotononidis (98.0 %), Microvirga vignae (97.4 %), Microvirga lupini (97.2 %), Microvirga zambiensis (97.2 %) and Microvirga flocculans (97.1 %). Analysis of the concatenated sequences of four housekeeping gene loci (dnaK, gyrB, recA and rpoB) also confirmed the placement of strain NCCP-1258(T) within the genus Microvirga. DNA-DNA relatedness values of NCCP-1258(T) with above-mentioned type strains were less than 42 %. The DNA G+C content of strain NCCP-1258(T) was 64.3 mol%. Chemotaxonomic data (predominant menaquinone system was Q-10; major fatty acids were C16:0, C18:1 ω7c and C19:0 cyclo ω8c; the polar lipid profile contained diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidyl dimethyl ethanolamine and phosphatidyl ethanolamine) also supported the affiliation of strain NCCP-1258(T) to the genus Microvirga. On the basis of physiological and biochemical characteristics, phylogenetic analyses and DNA-DNA relatedness, strain NCCP-1258(T) can be distinguished from the closely related taxa and thus represents a novel species of the genus Microvirga, for which the name Microvirga pakistanensis sp. nov. is proposed with the type strain NCCP-1258(T) (=CGMCC 1.15074(T) = KCTC 42496(T)). |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 16 July 2018.
All research outputs
#7,239,377
of 22,877,793 outputs
Outputs from Archives of Microbiology
#537
of 2,783 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#118,794
of 349,337 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Archives of Microbiology
#4
of 27 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,877,793 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 67th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,783 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.7. This one has done well, scoring higher than 79% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 349,337 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 65% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 27 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 77% of its contemporaries.
