Abstract

Many studies on subsp. () have been carried out using strain ATCC 393 (pLZ15). Four strains of ATCC 393 and three of ATCC 393 (pLZ15) were compared using phenotypic methods and many of the available genotyping techniques. These tests showed that strains of ATCC 393 obtained from independent public type-culture collections were significantly different from the plasmid-free (pLZ15) strains of ATCC 393. These findings were confirmed by sequencing the first 580 nt (domain I) of the 16S and 23S rDNAs of the strains. Complete sequencing of the 16S rDNA of one representative strain from each group revealed that strain ATCC 393 from culture collections was 99 % similar to ATCC 15820 and that the strain so far considered as ATCC 393 (pLZ15) was, in turn, 100 % similar to ATCC 334 and subsp. ATCC 4022. All data obtained in this work indicate that the ancestral strain of ATCC 393 (pLZ15) might never have been the strain that is now available from culture collections.
