Re-examination of the taxonomic position of Rheims 1999 and proposal to transfer it to gen. nov. as comb. nov. Free

Abstract

Following the transfer of three of the six species enclosed in the original definition of rRNA group 2 of to the genus and two to , other species of this group, some of which were added later, still await taxonomic revision. In a recent publication, a set of ‘core’ characteristics was proposed for species to be included in the genus ( Kämpfer , 2006 ). Except for , however, several or none of these properties are available for members of rRNA group 2. According to our analysis of data including the ‘core’ characteristics, should not be a member of the genus . We therefore propose the establishment of a new genus, gen. nov., and transfer to this genus as comb. nov., with the type strain HR3-23 (=DSM 12223=ATCC BAA-269=CIP 106059).
