Genome-based reclassification of , and the genera , and No Access

Abstract

In the present study, the taxonomic positions of , and members of the genera , and were evaluated. The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between DSM 14745, DSM 23947 and members of the genera and were above the cut-off level (>95 %) for genus delineation. Amino acid identity (AAI) values and the results of phylogenomic analysis suggested that and the members of the genera , and belong to the same genus. Furthermore, the AAI and phylogenomic results also differentiate from and the members of the genera , and . Based on the results, we propose to transfer , and to the genus . We also propose the reclassification of into a new genus gen. nov., with the type species comb. nov.
