Abstract

Two groups of Gram-negative, aerobic bacterial strains previously isolated from experimental biofilters were investigated to determine their taxonomic position. Based on their 16S rRNA gene sequences, these isolates formed two distinct groups within the genus . The gene sequence similarities of the new isolates to the type strains of species were below 98.3 %. The presence of ubiquinone-10, C 11 as the predominant fatty acid and a polar lipid pattern with phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine was in accordance with the characteristics of this genus. The results of DNA–DNA hybridization, biochemical tests and chemotaxonomic properties allowed genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of the strains from all recognized species of the genus . Therefore, the isolates were assigned to two novel species of this genus for which the names sp. nov. (type strain 905/1 = DSM 19730 = CCUG 55251) and sp. nov. (type strain 1006/1 = DSM 19714 = CCUG 55250) are proposed. An emended description of the genus is also presented.
