Transfer of and to the genus with emended descriptions of comb. nov. and comb. nov. Free

Abstract

The taxonomic status of and was examined, based on their 16S rDNA sequences, DNA–DNA hybridization and other taxonomic characteristics. A phylogenetic analysis using 16S rDNA sequences revealed that the two species belong to the genus . In particular, KCTC 3748 and KCTC 3791 were found to be phylogenetically closely related to YC300 (98·3 % sequence similarity) and WN9 (95·2 % sequence similarity), respectively. DNA–DNA hybridization values between KCTC 3748 and YC300 were less than 26 %. An experiment using -specific PCR primers, PAEN515F and 1377R, revealed that and had the same amplified 16S rDNA fragment as members of the genus . Accordingly, it is proposed that and be transferred to the genus as comb. nov. and comb. nov., respectively.
