( 2004 ) Proposals of Curvibacter gracilis gen. nov., sp. nov. and Herbaspirillum putei sp. nov. for bacterial strains isolated from well water and reclassification of [Pseudomonas] huttiensis, [Pseudomonas] lanceolata, [Aquaspirillum] delicatum and [Aquaspirillum] autotrophicum as Herbaspirillum huttiense comb. nov., Curvibacter lanceolatus comb. nov., Curvibacter delicatus comb. nov. and Herbaspirillum autotrophicum comb. nov. PMID : 15545462 DOI : 10.1099/ijs.0.02975-0 Abstract >>
Two strains of curved bacteria, 7-1(T) and 7-2(T), isolated from well water, were phylogenetically examined to determine their taxonomic position. Strain 7-1(T) is a Gram-negative, slightly curved rod. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that strain 7-1(T) formed a cluster with [Aquaspirillum] delicatum and [Pseudomonas] lanceolata. It has some similar characteristics to [A.] delicatum and [P.] lanceolata, but has sufficient distance to separate it from other genera. DNA-DNA hybridization analysis, as well as chemotaxonomic and morphological studies, demonstrated that strain 7-1(T), [A.] delicatum and [P.] lanceolata belong to a new genus, Curvibacter gen. nov. Strain 7-1(T) (=IAM 15033(T)=ATCC BAA-807(T)) is classified as the type strain of Curvibacter gracilis gen. nov., sp. nov., and [A.] delicatum and [P.] lanceolata are classified as Curvibacter delicatus comb. nov. and Curvibacter lanceolatus comb. nov., respectively. Strain 7-2(T) is a Gram-negative spirillum. Phylogenetic study based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that it formed a cluster with the members of the genus Herbaspirillum, [Pseudomonas] huttiensis and [Aquaspirillum] autotrophicum. The classification is therefore proposed of strain 7-2(T) (=IAM 15032(T)=ATCC BAA-806(T)) as the type strain of Herbaspirillum putei sp. nov., and [P.] huttiensis and [A.] autotrophicum are transferred to the genus Herbaspirillum as Herbaspirillum huttiense comb. nov. and Herbaspirillum autotrophicum comb. nov., respectively.

( 2000 ) Phylogenetic affiliation of the pseudomonads based on 16S rRNA sequence. PMID : 10939664 DOI : 10.1099/00207713-50-4-1563 Abstract >>
The broad and vague phenotypic definition allowed the genus Pseudomonas to become a dumping ground for incompletely characterized polarly flagellated, gram-negative, rod-shaped, aerobic bacteria, and a large number of species have been accommodated in the genus Pseudomonas. The 16S rRNA sequences of 128 valid and invalid Pseudomonas species, which included almost valid species of the genus Pseudomonas listed in the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names, were obtained: sequences of 59 species were determined and those of 69 species were obtained from the GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ databases. These sequences were compared with the sequences of other species of the Proteobacteria. Fifty-seven valid or invalid species including Pseudomonas aeruginosa (type species of the genus Pseudomonas Migula 1894) belonged to the genus Pseudomonas (sensu stricto). Seven subclusters were formed in the cluster of the genus Pseudomonas (sensu stricto), and the resulting clusters conformed well to the rRNA-DNA hybridization study by Palleroni (1984). The other species did not belong to the genus Pseudomonas (sensu stricto) and were related to other genera, which were placed in four subclasses of the Proteobacteria (alpha, beta, gamma and gamma-beta subclasses). Twenty-six examined species, which were not included in the cluster of the Pseudomonas (sensu stricto) and have not been transferred to other genera as yet, are listed alphabetically: 'Pseudomonas abikonensis', Pseudomonas antimicrobica, Pseudomonas beijerinckii, Pseudomonas beteli, Pseudomonas boreopolis, 'Pseudomonas butanovora', Pseudomonas carboxydohydrogena, Pseudomonas cissicola, Pseudomonas doudoroffii, Pseudomonas echinoides, Pseudomonas elongata, Pseudomonas flectens, Pseudomonas geniculata, Pseudomonas halophila, Pseudomonas hibiscicola, Pseudomonas huttiensis, Pseudomonas iners, Pseudomonas lanceolata, Pseudomonas lemoignei, Pseudomonas mephitica, Pseudomonas pictorum, Pseudomonas saccharophila, Pseudomonas spinosa, Pseudomonas stanier, Pseudomonas syzygii and Pseudomonas woodsii. The phylogenetic affiliations of these 26 pseudomonads species are shown.
