DNA Relatedness among Nonpigmented Species of and Synonymy of (ZoBell and Upham 1944) Reichelt and Baumann 1973 and Simidu et al. 1990 Free

Abstract

The taxonomic relationships among nonpigmented species of the genus were assessed by DNA-DNA hybridization. The species formed two groups based on DNA homology values and moles precent G+C of DNA: , the type species, had a moles percent G+C content 4 to 7% higher than those of the other group, and it had less than 5% DNA homology to the second group formed by the remaining species. The remaining species formed seven DNA homology subgroups, of which five corresponded to the type strains of , and . A sixth subgroup included the type strains of and , which showed hybridizations of more than 80%. The species in the second group were related to each other at the genus level, but a nomenclatural proposal is postponed. The hybridization data showed that the name Simidu et al. 1990 should be recognized as a junior subjective synomyn of (ZoBell and Upham 1944) Reichelt and Baumann 1973. The seventh subgroup included two as yet unassigned strains which were misidentified as to species.
