Reclassification of Donghaeana dokdonensis Yoon et al. 2006 as Persicivirga dokdonensis comb. nov. and emended descriptions of the genus Persicivirga and of Persicivirga xylanidelens O'Sullivan et al. 2006.
The accurate taxonomic position of Donghaeana dokdonensis DSW-6(T) was investigated. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the 16S rRNA gene sequences of the strain studied and of Persicivirga xylanidelens SW256(T) shared 98.2 % similarity. On the basis of phylogenetic evidence, phenotypic data and DNA-DNA reassociation values, it is proposed that strain DSW-6(T) be reclassified as Persicivirga dokdonensis comb. nov. Emended descriptions of the genus Persicivirga and of P. xylanidelens are also proposed.
