Sequence analysis of the 26S rRNA D1/D2 domain and the internal transcribed spacer region indicated that these strains represented two novel species of the genus Bensingtonia. The names Bensingtonia rectispora sp. nov. (type strain XZ 4C5T = CGMCC 2.02635T = CBS 10710T) and Bensingtonia bomiensis sp. nov. (type strain XZ 33D1T = CGMCC 2.02670T = CBS 10713T) are proposed for the two novel species, which are phylogenetically closely related to Bensingtonia naganoensis, Bensingtonia pseudonaganoensis and the type species of the genus, Bensingtonia ciliata., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.038117-0
