Re-examination of the taxonomic status of , and as members of the genus and their reclassification in the genera gen. nov. and gen. nov. as comb. nov., comb. nov. and comb. nov., respectively Open Access

Abstract

Recently, a taxonomical re-evaluation of the genus , based on multi-locus sequence typing (MLST) analysis, has led to the proposal that the species , and should be reclassified as novel species of the genus . In the present work, new genome-scale analyses, including average nucleotide identity, genome-scale phylogeny and k-mer analysis, coupled with previously reported DNA–DNA hybridization values and biochemical characterization strongly indicate that these three species of the genus are not members of the genus , nor do they belong to the re-evaluated genus . Furthermore, data from this polyphasic study indicated that all three species constitute two new genera. We propose reclassifying and in the genus gen. nov. as comb. nov. (type strain 601/05 = LMG 24057 = DSM 19144) and comb. nov. (type strain 513/05 = LMG 23732 = DSM 18396), respectively, and in the genus gen. nov. as comb. nov. (type strain 508/05 = LMG 23730 = DSM 18397).
