Investigation fatty acid patterns, polar lipid profiles, polyamine patterns and quinc systems supported this delineation. Substrate utilization profiles and biochemical characteristics displayed no distinct overall similarity to an validly described species of the genus Sphingomonas. Therefore, the reclassification of [Pseudomonas] echinoides as Sphingomonas echinoides comb. nov. is proposed, based upon the estimated phylogenetic positon derived from 16S rRNA gene sequence data, chemotaxonomic data and previously published genomic DNA G+C content data.", }
