Abstract

The taxonomic positions of and were examined using phenotypic tests, 16S rRNA gene sequencing and DNA–DNA hybridization. The two species displayed very similar sugar-fermentation patterns and produced the -form of lactic acid. Phylogenetic analysis showed that is the closest neighbour of , sharing about 99·7 % similarity in the 16S rRNA gene sequence. DNA–DNA hybridization experiments further reinforced these results, demonstrating a 98·2 % reassociation level between LMG 17699 and DSM 14295. On the other hand, strain RO5, an isolate from paddy rice silage, exhibited 99·4 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity and a DNA reassociation level of more than 97 % with both type strains. Therefore, it is proposed that the species should be reclassified as .
