Abstract

An unnamed and unclassified gas-vacuolated, facultatively anaerobic rod was characterized phenotypically and genotypically by deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-DNA hybridization. It most closely resembles members of the genus in the family . However, it differs phenotypically from the genus , and a low level of relatedness to its members was observed (11 to 22%). For these reasons, a new genus and species, , is proposed for this organism within the family .
