Abstract

The reclassification of Moore . 1976 (Approved Lists 1980) as gen. nov., comb. nov. is proposed within the family . This reclassification is based on differences revealed through the analysis of 16S rRNA, , , and genes, as well as genome sequences, distinguishing it from other species. Comparative analysis showed that exhibited digital DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH) values of 19.40–27.20% and average nucleotide identities based on (ANIb) values of 67.06–67.64% with other species. These values are significantly below the species delineation thresholds (dDDH, 70%; ANIb, 95–96%), justifying the proposed reclassification. Additionally, the results of the average amino acid identity (AAI) analysis indicated that this species shares 59.22–60.17% AAI with the other species of the genus , which is below the AAI threshold (65%) for a genus boundary. In addition, biochemical and morphological characteristics also support the proposal that this species is different from other species of the genus . The type strain is ATCC 29175 (DSM 2876=T9-40A).
