Abstract

We performed a comparative genomic analysis to clarify the taxonomic relationship between the two species, and . Whole genome sequences of types strains of the two species became available recently. Average nucleotide identity (ANI) and DNA–DNA hybridization (isDDH) between the two type strains were determined. Type strains of the two species had a 97.25 % ANI and an 80.4 % isDDH value, which are above the well-recognized cutoffs (≥95–96 % ANI and ≥70 % isDDH) for bacterial species delineation. The two strains have similar overall phenotypic characteristics and are clustered together with high bootstrap values in the multi-locus sequence analysis on , , and housekeeping genes. It therefore becomes evident that the two species actually belong to the same species. has priority over , therefore we proposed that Duan . 2016 is a later heterotypic synonym of [ 15 ]
