Transfer of Humm 1946 to the genus as comb. nov. Free

Abstract

Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rDNA sequences revealed that Humm 1946 is more closely related to the genus than to authentic pseudomonads. The type strain of (DSM 6810) exhibited 16S rDNA similarity levels of 97·5 and 98·2 % to the type strains of and , respectively, but of less than approximately 92 % to species with known 16S rDNA sequences. Respiratory lipoquinone and cellular fatty acid analyses showed that the type strain of has characteristics similar to those of the genus , not those of the genus . DSM 6810 contained ubiquinone-8 as the predominant respiratory lipoquinone and iso-C as the major fatty acid. DNA–DNA relatedness data indicate that is a species distinct from and . Therefore, on the basis of these data, Humm 1946 should be transferred to the genus as comb. nov.
