“…The results of our phylogenomic analyses (Figure 3) are consistent with previously described 16S rRNA-derived β-proteobacteria phylogenies [16] and shows that the two Taylorella species are markedly distant from the other members of Alcaligenaceae.…”

The Taylorella genus comprises two species: Taylorella equigenitalis, which causes contagious equine metritis, and Taylorella asinigenitalis, a closely-related species mainly found in donkeys. We herein report on the first genome sequence of T. asinigenitalis, analyzing and comparing it with the recently-sequenced T. equigenitalis genome. The T. asinigenitalis genome contains a single circular chromosome of 1,638,559 bp with a 38.3% GC content and 1,534 coding sequences (CDS). While 212 CDSs were T. asinigenitalis-specific, 1,322 had orthologs in T. equigenitalis. Two hundred and thirty-four T. equigenitalis CDSs had no orthologs in T. asinigenitalis. Analysis of the basic nutrition metabolism of both Taylorella species showed that malate, glutamate and alpha-ketoglutarate may be their main carbon and energy sources. For both species, we identified four different secretion systems and several proteins potentially involved in binding and colonization of host cells, suggesting a strong potential for interaction with their host. T. equigenitalis seems better-equipped than T. asinigenitalis in terms of virulence since we identified numerous proteins potentially involved in pathogenicity, including hemagluttinin-related proteins, a type IV secretion system, TonB-dependent lactoferrin and transferrin receptors, and YadA and Hep_Hag domains containing proteins. This is the first molecular characterization of Taylorella genus members, and the first molecular identification of factors potentially involved in T. asinigenitalis and T. equigenitalis pathogenicity and host colonization. This study facilitates a genetic understanding of growth phenotypes, animal host preference and pathogenic capacity, paving the way for future functional investigations into this largely unknown genus.

“…Subsequently, the genera Achromobacter, Pigmentiphaga and Kerstersia were also assigned to the Alcaligenaceae (Yabuuchi et al, 1998;Blümel et al, 2001;Coenye et al, 2003b). The genera Oligella, Taylorella, Pelistega and Brackiella are closely related to the Alcaligenaceae but have not been formally assigned to this family (Rossau et al, 1987;Vandamme et al, 1998;Willems et al, 2002). Members of most of the above-mentioned genera have been isolated from various human and veterinary clinical samples, including respiratory secretions of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients; however, some (e.g.…”

A polyphasic taxonomic study of 14 isolates recovered from various human and veterinary clinical samples was performed. Phenotypically these isolates shared several characteristics with members of the Alcaligenaceae and related genera. Random amplified polymorphic DNA fingerprinting and whole-cell protein analysis suggested the presence of multiple genomic groups, which was confirmed by DNA–DNA hybridization experiments. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that these isolates were related to the genera Pelistega, Taylorella, Oligella, Pigmentiphaga, Alcaligenes, Kerstersia, Achromobacter and Bordetella and belonged to the family Alcaligenaceae. Based on the results of the present study the organisms were classified in a novel genus, Advenella gen. nov. This genus comprises one named species, Advenella incenata sp. nov. (type strain LMG 22250T=CCUG 45225T) and five currently unnamed genomic species. The DNA G+C content of members of the novel genus Advenella is between 54·0 and 57·7 mol%.

“…However, according to 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons the genera Brackiella, Kerstersia, Oligella, Pelistega, Sutterella and Taylorella should also be included in this family (Busse & Stolz, 2004;Willems et al, 2002;Coenye et al, 2005). Phylogenetically, these genera form together with strain BN9 T a homogeneous cluster separate from other taxa within the 'Betaproteobacteria'.…”

Pusillimonas noertemannii gen. nov., sp. nov., a new member of the family Alcaligenaceae that degrades substituted salicylates The taxonomic position of a Pseudomonas-like strain, designated BN9 T , was investigated. This strain had previously been isolated as a 5-aminosalicylate-degrading organism from a 6-aminonaphthalene-2-sulphonate-degrading mixed bacterial culture. Previously, detection of ubiquinone Q-8, a polyamine pattern with putrescine, spermidine and 2-hydroxyputrescine as the major polyamines, and partial 16S rRNA gene sequencing had suggested that strain BN9 T belongs to the 'Betaproteobacteria'. This was supported by sequencing the 16S rRNA gene, which demonstrated 94-96 % sequence similarity to different species of the genera Achromobacter, Alcaligenes and Bordetella, and suggested that strain BN9 T represents a member of the family Alcaligenaceae. Different methods for the construction of phylogenetic dendrograms placed the strain separately from all other genera within the Alcaligenaceae. Fatty acid analysis demonstrated the presence of high concentrations of C 19 : 0 cyclo v8c. On the basis of low 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to other members of the Alcaligenaceae, fatty acid and polar lipid profiles, and other unique phenotypic properties of strain BN9 T , the creation of a new genus and species with the name Pusillimonas noertemannii gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is BN9 T
