Rothia santali sp. nov., strain AR01^T, was isolated from the hypocotyl tissue of a sandalwood (Santalum album L.) seedling exhibiting stunted and abnormal growth. The sample was collected from an insect-free sandalwood nursery at the Indian Wood Science and Technology (IWST) institute in Bangalore, India.
The endophytic bacterium suggests potential roles in promoting plant growth, enhancing stress resistance, or providing biocontrol against pathogens.
