Abstract

is a marine bacterium species of the genus (, ). The species has been shown to be closely related to members of the genus in the so-called Harveyi clade. The clade includes at least 11 closely related species with similar physiological and biochemical properties. Due to these similarities, species of the Harveyi clade are difficult to characterize taxonomically. Previously phenotypic and genotypic properties of the type strain were compared with six species of the Harveyi clade, resulting in the possibility that could be a synonym of a previously described species. In this study, the taxonomic status of was analyzed using genomic approaches. The whole-genome sequence of the type strain of , CECT 7692, was obtained and analyzed. Calculations of average nucleotide identity with the algorithm (ANIb) showed that CECT 7692 has an ANIb of 97.5 % or higher to five strains of , including the type strain, but an ANIb lower than 93.5 % to other members of the Harveyi clade . Phylogenetic analysis based on nucleotide sequences of 133 protein-coding genes showed a close evolutionary relationship of CECT 7692 to . Based on these results, is proposed to be a later heterotypic synonym of .
