A1 Samadpour, MansourYR 2016 T1 Reclassification of Paraburkholderia panaciterrae (Farh et al. 2015) Dobritsa & Samadpour 2016 as a later synonym of Paraburkholderia ginsengiterrae (Farh et al. 2015) Dobritsa & Samadpour 2016 JF International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, VO 66 IS 10 SP 4085 OP 4087 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/ijsem.0.001314 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1466-5034, AB Whole-genome sequencing and PFGE analysis of Paraburkholderia ginsengiterrae DCY85T and Paraburkholderia panaciterrae DCY85-1T showed these strains are highly similar and may even be clones of the same strain. The PFGE patterns of XbaI-, AvaII-, and SpeI-digested genomic DNA of the two strains were indistinguishable. Based on the priority of valid publications of the species basonyms, Burkholderia ginsengiterrae and Burkholderia panaciterrae , it is proposed to reclassify P. panaciterrae as a later synonym of P. ginsengiterrae . The P. ginsengiterrae description was emended by replacing the DNA G+C content value of 66.0 mol%, which is higher than the 65 mol% considered the threshold for species of the genus Paraburkholderia , with the value of 62.4–62.5 mol%, calculated as the mean DNA G+C content of the draft genomes of strains DCY85-1T and DCY85T., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijsem.0.001314
