RT Journal Article SR Electronic(1) A1 Farfán, Maribel A1 Montes, María Jesús A1 Marqués, Ana M.YR 2014 T1 Reclassification of Sphingobacterium antarcticum Shivaji et al. 1992 as Pedobacter antarcticus comb. nov. and Pedobacter piscium (Takeuchi and Yokota 1993) Steyn et al. 1998 as a later heterotypic synonym of Pedobacter antarcticus JF International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, VO 64 IS Pt_3 SP 863 OP 868 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.054965-0 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1466-5034, AB The taxonomic position of Sphingobacterium antarcticum has been revised by means of 16S rRNA gene sequences, DNA–DNA hybridization, and phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics. All data previously reported, as well as the results of the present phylogenetic analysis, support that Sphingobacterium antarcticum is clearly a member of the genus Pedobacter , also affiliated with the family Sphingobacteriaceae . We propose that Sphingobacterium antarcticum (corrig. Shivaji et al. 1992) should be reclassified as Pedobacter antarcticus comb. nov., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.054965-0
