Proposal of six new species in the genus Microbacterium and transfer of Flavobacterium marinotypicum ZoBell and Upham to the genus Microbacterium as Microbacterium maritypicum comb. nov.
Reference strains, including two mis-named organisms, ‘Chromobacterium chocolatum’ and Flavobacterium marinotypicum. isolates from soil and clinical specimens, all previously recognized as Aureobacterium or Microbacterium, were characterized taxonomically. On the basis of morphological, physiological and chemotaxonomic characteristics, as well as DNA-DNA hybridization data, six new species and one new combination are proposed in the genus Microbacterium: Microbacterium ketosireducens sp. nov. (type strain IFO 14548T), Microbacterium chocolatum sp. nov. (type strain IFO 3758T), Microbacterium aurantiacum sp. nov. (type strain IFO 15234T), Microbacterium hominis sp. nov. (type strain IFO 15708T), Microbacterium thalassium sp. nov. (type strain IFO 16060T), Microbacterium halophilum sp. nov. (type strain IFO 16062T) and Microbacterium maritypicum comb. nov. (type strain IFO 15779T).
