Abstract

Serological techniques were used to assess the relationships among the following species: , , , “, , , , , , , , and . Deoxyribonucleic acid-deoxyribonucleic acid hybridization analyses of . , . , . , and . showed that these four species have measurable deoxyribonucleic acid relatedness of 28% or greater, consistent with their placement in a single genus. These bacterial species also demonstrated common antigens by immunodiffusion. In view of these genetic and serological relationships and previous inclusion of X- and V-factor-independent bacterial species in the genus , reassignment of to the genus as comb. nov. is proposed.
