Abstract

Abstract : This study was conducted to clarify the taxonomic status of the species Pseudomonas fuscovaginae and Pseudomonas shirazica . Whole genome sequences for the type strains of P. fuscovaginae and P. shirazica were compared against the closely related type strains of the Pseudomonas putida group and the Pseudomonas fluorescens group species. Average nucleotide identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridization values between P. fuscovaginae LMG 2158 T and Pseudomonas asplenii ATCC 23835 T were 98.4 and 85.5 %, and between P. shirazica VM14 T and Pseudomonas asiatica RYU5 T were 99.3 and 95.3 %. These values were greater than recognized thresholds for bacterial species delineation, indicating that they belong to the same genomospecies, respectively. Therefore, P. fuscovaginae and P. shirazica should be reclassified as later heterotypic synonyms of P. asplenii and P. asiatica, respectively.
