Abstract

Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences of species currently assigned to the genus has shown an extensive intrageneric phylogenetic heterogeneity. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of ATCC 43741 shows only 82.2–85.9 % sequence similarity to type strains of other members of the genus and <88.5 % sequence similarity to recognised species of the most closely related genera, (88.4–88.5 %), (87.3–87.8 %) and (87.2−87.9 %). Furthermore, ATCC 43741 could not be assigned to an existing family by phylogenetic analysis. The predominant menaquinone was MK-7. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, one unidentified phospholipid and two unidentified glycolipids. The major fatty acids were iso-C, C, iso-C and anteiso-C. Both the polar lipid profile and the fatty acid composition clearly distinguished DSM 2000 from the type species of the genus . Hence, there is no evidence for a clear phenotypic grouping of this organism into the genus nor to the genera , or . A proposal is made to transfer to a novel genus and species, gen. nov., comb. nov., and to emend the species description. The type strain of the type species is DSM 2000 ( = ATCC 43741 = CCUG 26017 = CIP 106933).
