Journal ArticleDOI

Phylogenetic Analysis of the Genus Desulfotomaculum: Evidence for the Misclassification of Desulfotomaculum guttoideum and Description of Desulfotomaculum orientis as Desulfosporosinus orientis gen. nov., comb. nov.

TL;DR: Almost complete 16S ribosomal DNA sequences were determined for the type strains of nine species belonging to the genus Desulfotomaculum and for seven strains described as strains of this genus, representing a new genus which branches most closely to the family Desulfitobacterium.
Journal ArticleDOI

16S-rDNA analysis of Spirochaeta thermophila: Its phylogenetic position and implications for the systematics of the order Spirochaetales

TL;DR: The branching pattern confirms earlier results of phylogenetic studies which showed the genus Spirochaeta to be heterogeneous, with S. zuelzerae and S. stenostrepta displaying a higher degree of relatedness to treponemas than to the main (authentic) Spirochete group.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dietzia, a new genus including Dietzia maris comb. nov., formerly Rhodococcus maris

TL;DR: The finding that R. maris is phylogenetically isolated is supported by the presence of N-acetyl residues in the glycan moiety of the peptidoglycan and the lack of phosphatidylinositol and phosphatisedol mannosides, characteristics which distinguish this taxon from related taxa.
Journal ArticleDOI

Desulfonatronovibrio hydrogenovorans gen. nov., sp. nov., an alkaliphilic, sulfate-reducing bacterium.

TL;DR: 16S ribosomal DNA sequence analysis revealed that strain Z-7935T represents a new lineage with genus status in the delta subclass of the Proteobacteria, and the name Desulfonatronovibrio hydrogenovorans gen. nov., sp.
Journal ArticleDOI

A re-evaluation of the taxonomy of Paracoccus denitrificans and a proposal for the combination Paracoccus pantotrophus comb. nov.

TL;DR: Comparison of both 16S rRNA coding sequences and DNA-DNA hybridization of ten strains of alpha-subclass of Proteobacteria currently classified as strains of Paracoccus denitrificans has shown that they fall into two groups which are distinct from each other at the species level, and it is proposed that all strains of group B are assigned to the new species combination ParacOCcus pantotrophus comb.
