phylogenetically examined to determine their taxonomic position. Strain 7-1T is a Gram-
negative, slightly curved rod. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that strain 7-
1T formed a cluster with [Aquaspirillum] delicatum and [Pseudomonas] lanceolata. It has
some similar characteristics to [A.] delicatum and [P.] lanceolata, but has sufficient distance
to separate it from other genera. DNA–DNA hybridization analysis, as well as …
