Nucleic Acid Relatedness Studies on the Genus Carnobacterium and Related Taxa

Abstract
None of the species Carnobacterium carnis, C. divergens, C. mobile or C. gallinarum showed significant DNA-DNA homology between themselves and other lactic acid bacteria. Nevertheless, the Carnobacterium species were found to belong to the same ribosomal RNA homology cluster. The species in this cluster were distant from the other bacteria tested.
