Abstract

Although the genus was originally proposed to accommodate all phytopathogenic coryneform bacteria containing B2γ diaminobutyrate in the peptidoglycan, reclassification of all but one species into other genera has resulted in the current monospecific status of the genus. The single species in the genus, , has multiple subspecies, which are all highly host-specific plant pathogens. Whole genome analysis based on average nucleotide identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridization as well as multi-locus sequence analysis (MLSA) of seven housekeeping genes support raising each of the subspecies to species status. On the basis of whole genome and MLSA data, we propose the establishment of two new species and three new combinations: sp. nov., comb. nov. and sp. nov., comb. nov., and comb. nov., comb. nov. and comb. nov.
