Abstract
The genomic relatedness among three Aeromonas allosaccharophila strains, including the type strain, and other Aeromonas type and reference strains that were assigned to DNA hybridization groups was estimated by DNA-DNA hybridization (competition procedure using a membrane method). All A. allosaccharophila strains were highly related (70 to 100%) to strains 289T(= CECT 4199T) and ATCC 35942. Type strains of other validated Aeromonas species, reference strains of DNA groups 8 and 11, and the Aeromonas sp. strain ATCC 43946 (enteric group 501) were 0 to 41% related to A. allosaccharophila 289Tand ATCC 35942. The G+Cs content of A. allosaccharophila strains were in the range 55.9 to 57.3 mol%. The G+C content of the type strain of this species was 56.9 mol%, a value somewhat lower than that reported in the original description.Keywords
