The results of DNA composition, DNA-DNA hybridization, fatty acid content, and biochemical property studies demonstrated that these organisms were slightly related to other previously described yellow-pigmented enterococcal species and constitute a new species, for which we propose the name Enterococcus flavescens. The type strain of E. flavescens is strain CCM 439., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/00207713-42-3-365
