JF International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, VO 49 IS 1 SP 185 OP 188 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/00207713-49-1-185 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1466-5034, AB Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rDNA indicates that Brevibacterium incertum is not a member of the genus Brevibacterium but related to species of the genus Carnobacterium. Hence, Brevibacterium incertum is not a member of the class Acrinobactena but belongs to the phylogenetically defined broad Bacillus-Lactobacillus cluster. Based upon properties that taxonomically clearly distinguishes Brevibacterium incertum from species of the phylogenetic sister genus Carnobacterium, Brevibacterium incertum is reclassified as Desemzia incerta gen. nov., comb. nov., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/00207713-49-1-185
