The isolate was distinguished from V. indigofera on the basis of genotypic data, several phenotypic properties and an inability to produce characteristic blue-pigmented colonies on peptone agar. The fatty acid profile was slightly different from that reported for V. indigofera ATCC 19706T. It was evident from the genotypic and phenotypic data that strain DS-28T represents a novel species of the genus Vogesella, for which the name Vogesella perlucida sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is DS-28T (=BCRC 17730T=LMG 24214T). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.65766-0
