title: DNA relatedness among Aeromonas allosaccharophila strains and DNA hybridization groups of the genus Aeromonas.
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 289T and 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.
