Abstract

Eight strains, 11 strains, and 7 strains, as well as 9 phenotypically similar strains and LMG 5342, were compared by examining electropherograms prepared from their soluble proteins and were grouped into nine protein electrophoretic groups. The levels of DNA relatedness among these electrophoretic groups were determined spectrophotometrically from the renaturation rates at 74°C of the DNAs of 13 selected strains. The representatives from five protein electrophoretic groups, including LMG 2665 (T = type strain) and LMG 2667, exhibited 76 to 100% DNA binding to each other and constituted DNA hybridization group 2665. All strains (including LMG 2715) were electrophoretically very similar; representatives of this species exhibited 93 to 99% DNA binding to each other and constituted DNA hybridization subgroup 2715. The strains belonging to the remaining three protein electrophoretic groups exhibited 94 to 96% DNA binding to each other and formed DNA hybridization subgroup 2632. The latter two subgroups were 60 to 83% (average, 73%) interrelated and exhibited 30 to 39% DNA binding to group 2665. It is proposed that and should be united in a single species, which should be classified in the genus as (Serrano 1928) comb. nov.; its type strain is strain LMG 2665 (= NCPPB 1846). This species also includes DNA hybridization group VI of Brenner et al. (D. J. Brenner, G. R. Fanning, J. K. Leete Knutson, A. G. Steigerwalt, and M. I. Krichevsky, Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol. 34:45-55, 1984). The transfer of to the genus and the creation of two separate subspecies within (Smith 1898) comb. nov. are also proposed. subsp. (Smith 1898) comb. nov. (synonym, ) contains the strains belonging to subgroup 2715, and its type strain is strain LMG 2715 (= NCPPB 2295); and subsp. subsp. nov. contains the strains belonging to subgroup 2632, and its type strain is strain LMG 2632 (= NCPPB 2280). As determined by principal-component analysis of the cellular fatty acid compositions, subsp. , and subsp. are separated from each other mainly by differences in the relative contents of -9-hexadecenoic acid (C), cyclo-heptadecanoic acid (C), and straight-chain octodecenoic acids (C). subsp. can also be differentiated from and subsp. by its inability to produce indole, to utilize citrate, to grow on -aconitate, and to form acid from seven carbohydrates. subsp. can also be separated from by its inability to form acid from sorbitol and α-methyl--mannoside. Descriptions of and and its two subspecies are given, and the description of the genus is emended.
