Abstract

The taxonomic positions of five bacterial strains isolated from the Yaeyama Islands of Japan and ‘’ NBRC 15982 were determined using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses placed all of the strains close to the genus . DNA–DNA hybridization studies, biochemical and physiological characterizations and chemotaxonomic analyses suggested that ‘’ NBRC 15982 and the five novel isolates represented two separate species of the genus . Emendation of the genus Nakagawa . 1997 and the species (Reichenbach 1989) Nakagawa . 1997 is proposed. In addition, ‘ Lewin 1969 is proposed as nom. rev., comb. nov. (with the type strain NBRC 15982=CIP 109101) and the novel isolates are proposed as sp. nov. (type strain IR25-3=NBRC 100898=CIP 109099).
