Abstract

On the basis of morphological, physiological, and chemotaxonomic characteristics and DNA-DNA hybridization data, we describe three new species: sp. nov., nom. rev. (type strain, IFO 15472); sp. nov. (type strain, IFO 15224); and sp. nov. (type strain, IFO 15203). These new species include some previously misclassified strains and an isolate obtained from corn steep liquor. Although . and . are similar in their physiological characteristics, they can be differentiated on the basis of their cellular fatty acid patterns and low levels of DNA-DNA hybridization. . is characterized by the presence of large amounts of rhamnose in its cell wall.
