Abstract

Strains of a Gram-positive bacterium were isolated from the Irish smear-ripened cheese Gubbeen, and assigned to a new species, , in 2001. During a further study on the same cheese, no additional isolates from this species could be found. Instead, multiple isolates of its nearest phylogenetic neighbour, , were found. A first screening with rep-PCR and SDS-PAGE pointed to a similarity between and . Following this peculiar result, attempts were made to collect all type strains deposited at different culture collections and all strains described by Brennan . [ (2001) , 843–852] . Subsequently, 16S rRNA gene sequencing and DNA–DNA hybridizations were performed. All strains had a 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of at least 99·5 % with and the DNA–DNA relatedness was 95 %. On the basis of these results, it is concluded that is a later heterotypic synonym of .
