Strain IAM 1554 (ATCC 17806) is herein designated as the type strain of Pseudomonas melanogena Iizuka and Komagata 1963 and compared with ATCC 13637, the type strain of Pseudomonas maltophilia Hugh and Ryschenkow 1960. The three additional strains used in the original description of P. melanogena and five strains of P. maltophilia originally identified as Pseudomonas alcaligenes are also studied. The morphological and physiological attributes and deoxyribonucleic acid base compositions of the 10 strains are sufficiently similar so as to place these strains in a single species, the correct name of which is P. maltophilia. The name P. melanogena is reduced to being a junior synonym of P. maltophilia.
