Synonymy of Alcaligenes aquamarinus, Alcaligenes faecalis subsp. homari, and Deleya aesta: Deleya aquamarina comb. nov. as the Type Species of the Genus Deleya
Alcaligenes aquamarinus and Alcaligenes faecalis subsp. homari proved to be identical to Deleya aesta in respiratory quinone type, cellular fatty acid profiles, and biochemical and physiological characteristics and as determined by deoxyribonucleic acid-deoxyribonucleic acid relatedness studies. The name Alcaligenes aquamarinus has priority. Therefore, the name Deleya aquamarina comb. nov. is proposed for the type species of the genus Deleya; the type strain should be changed from strain IAM 12551 (= ATCC 27128) (type strain of Deleya aesta) to strain IAM 12550 (= ATCC 14400) (type strain of Alcaligenes aquamarinus).
