compared to currently known species of the genus Citrobacter using genotypic and
phenotypic approaches. Multilocus sequence analysis based on housekeeping genes fusA,
leuS, pyrG, rpoB and recN, showed that the two strains formed a distinct phylogenetic
lineage within the genus Citrobacter. Average nucleotide identity (ANI) between strains
97/79T and A121 was 99.2%, whereas ANI values of strain 97/79T with the type strains of …
