Abstract

The taxonomic status of (strain NCIMB 2058 [T = type strain] and a strain isolated from the environment) was investigated by performing phylogenetic analyses of small-subunit rRNA sequences, DNA-DNA hybridization analyses, and biochemical characterization analyses. The results of the phylogenetic analyses and the levels of DNA-DNA complementarity demonstrated conclusively that is extremely closely related to ATCC 33539. Since the two taxa exhibited a level of DNA-DNA relatedness of 80%, they are members of the same species. The high level of DNA relatedness and the presence of specific morphological and biochemical characteristics support the hypothesis that two subspecies should be recognized. On the basis of its phylogenetic position, we concluded that should be renamed subsp. comb. nov.
