Transfer of Pseudomonas perfectomarina Baumann, Bowditch, Baumann, and Beaman 1983 to Pseudomonas stutzeri (Lehmann and Neumann 1896) Sijderius 1946

Abstract

We propose the transfer of Pseudomonas perfectomarina to the species Pseudomonas stutzeri as strain ZoBell. The proposal is based on 60% deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-DNA homology with P. stutzeri ATCC 17588T, a similar guanine-plus-cytosine content, and the conformity of more than 100 nutritional and general characteristics.
