title: Ancylobacter polymorphus sp. nov. and Ancylobacter vacuolatus sp. nov.
abstract: The taxonomic positions of 'Renobacter vacuolatum' DSM 1277 and 'Ancylobacter polymorphus' DSM 2457 were investigated in this study. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that both strains belonged to the genus Ancylobacter. DNA-DNA hybridization showed that they differed from Ancylobacter aquaticus DSM 101(T) and Ancylobacter rudongensis AS 1.1761(T). According to molecular and phenotypic characteristics, strain DSM 1277(T) (=AS 1.2807(T)) is proposed as the type strain of Ancylobacter vacuolatus sp. nov. At the same time, valid publication of the name Ancylobacter polymorphus sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain DSM 2457(T) (=AS 1.2800(T) = NCIMB 10516(T)).
