Abstract

Seven strains of an unidentifiable species recovered from blood cultures, urine or cerebrospinal fluid over 26 years, closest to but differentiated from by 16S rRNA gene and partial gene sequencing, were studied. In November 2017, Atasayar described a blood culture isolate as sp. nov., which had >99 % similarity by 16S rRNA gene sequencing to the Canadian strains. In January 2018, Jani described sp. nov., recovered from the Godavari River, India, which also had >99 % similarity by 16S/ sequencing to the Canadian strains and In May 2018, Wei described recovered from hadopelagic water; this too had >99 % similarity by 16S rRNA gene sequencing to , and the Canadian strains. DSM 103494 and LMG 29598 were acquired and whole genome sequencing was performed (not previously done). Results were compared with genomes from (GenBank accession NQMQ01) and the Canadian isolates. We found that these ten genomes formed a single taxon when compared using digital DNA–DNAhybridization, average nucleotide identity using n and average amino acid identity criteria but exhibited some subtle biochemical and chemotaxonomic differences. Heuristically, we propose that and are later heterotypic synonyms of, and the Canadian isolates are identifiable as, . We provide an emended description of Atasayar . 2017; genomes ranged from 2.48 to 2.69 Mb ( DSM 103494, 2.62 Mb) with G+C content of 65.1–65.6 mol% (WGS), recovered from clinical and environmental sites.
