Abstract
The name YOKENELLA gen. nov. is proposed for a group of organisms in the family Enterobacteriaceae isolated from clinical sources and insects. Yokenella is a gram-negative, oxidase-negative, fermentative, motile rod possessing the characteristics of the family Enterobacteriaceae. The guanine plus cytosine contents of the DNA range from 58.0-59.3 mol%. Biochemical characteristics of this group and DNA hybridization studies indicate that the 11 strains studied comprise a separate species which should be best placed in a new genus. This single DNA hybridization group is named Y. regensburgei sp. nov. The type strain of Y. regensburgei is NIH 725-83 (JCM 2403).This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
