Transfer of Defluvibacter lusatiensis to the genus Aquamicrobium as Aquamicrobium lusatiense comb. nov. and description of Aquamicrobium aerolatum sp. nov. Kämpfer, Peter and Martin, Elena and Lodders, Nicole and Jäckel, Udo,, 59, 2468-2470 (2009), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.008730-0, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences of the type strains of Aquamicrobium defluvii and Defluvibacter lusatiensis shows a similarity of 98.3 %. There is no evidence for clear phenotypic differences between these organisms that justifies assignment to different genera. Both have ubiquinone Q-10 as the dominant quinone type and very similar fatty acid profiles, with 18 : 1ω7c and 19 : 0 cyclo ω8c predominating. A proposal is made to transfer Defluvibacter lusatiensis to the genus Aquamicrobium as Aquamicrobium lusatiense comb. nov. (type strain S1T =CIP 106844T =DSM 11099T). Furthermore, a novel species within this genus, Aquamicrobium aerolatum sp. nov., is described, with strain Sa14T (=CCUG 57044T =DSM 21857T), isolated from air in a duck shed, as the type strain., language=, type=
