Subdivision of the genus Gluconacetobacter Yamada, Hoshino and Ishikawa 1998: the proposal of Komagatabacter gen. nov., for strains accommodated to the Gluconacetobacter xylinus group in the α-Proteobacteria

Description of Komagataeibacter gen. nov., with proposals of new combinations (Acetobacteraceae)

“…To date, 17 species have been accommodated to the genus (Yamada et al, 2012). Franke et al (1999) found a phylogenetic duality in the new genus Gluconacetobacter.…”

“…Yamada and Yukphan (2008) suggested that the Gluconacetobacter liquefaciens group and the Gluconacetobacter xylinus group in the genus Gluconacetobacter can be phylogenetically, phenotypically and ecologically distinguished from each other at the generic level. Yamada et al (2012) proposed the new genus Komagataeibacter (Komagatabacter [sic]) with 12 new combinations on the basis of these taxonomic characteristics. However, the new name of the genus and the new combinations were not recognized in their validations, since the proposals that were done without any indications of the deposits in the type strains in at least two different collections in two different countries were not in accordance with Rule 27 of the Bacteriological Code (Tindall et al, 2006).…”

“…Upon the proposals of the new genus and the new combinations for the second time, discussion is briefl y made as follows, since it was already done in detail (Yamada and Yukphan, 2008;Yamada et al, 2012).…”

“…A phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences of 1,216 bases was constructed by the neighbor-joining method (Saitou and Nei, 1987), as described previously (Yamada and Yukphan, 2008;Yamada et al, 2012). The confi dence values of individual branches in the phylogenetic tree were calculated by use of the bootstrap analysis of Felsenstein (1985) based on 1,000 replications.…”
