The sequences of two strains (NS89Tand NS102) were identical for approximately 1500 nucleotides. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the three strains belonged to the α-1 subclass of the Proteobacteria, constituting one line of descent. The three strains are comparatively related to Roseococcus thiosulfatophilus, which is an aerobic bacteriochlorophyll a-containing bacterium. The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity and the DNA-DNA relatedness allow the proposal of two new genera, Craurococcus gen. nov. and Paracraurococcus gen. nov. The type species are Craurococcus roseus sp. nov. and Paracraurococcus ruber sp. nov., and their type strains are NS130T(=JCM 99331T) and NS89T(=JCM 9931T), respectively. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/00207713-48-3-1043
