sp. nov., a scotochromogenic species related to the complex Free

Abstract

Four strains isolated in the last 15 years were revealed to be identical in their 16S rRNA gene sequences to MCRO19, the sequence of which was deposited in GenBank in 1995. In a polyphasic analysis including phenotypic and genotypic features, the five strains (including MCRO19), which had been isolated in four European countries, turned out to represent a unique taxonomic entity. They are scotochromogenic slow growers and are genetically related to the group that included and 15 other species. The novel species sp. nov. is proposed to accommodate these five strains. Strain FI-95228 ( = DSM 45397  = CCUG 58464) was chosen as the type strain. In addition, a thorough revision of the phenotypic and genotypic characters of the species related to was conducted which leads us to suggest the denomination of the ‘ complex’ for this group.
