title: Serratia glossinae Geiger et al. 2010 is a later synonym of Serratia fonticola Gavini et al. 1979.
abstract: Serratia glossinae DSM 22080(T) was compared with Serratia fonticola ATCC 29844(T) to clarify the taxonomic relationship of both species. 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons demonstrated that these species share 99.6% sequence similarity. Investigation of substrate utilization profiles displayed no striking differences from the type strains of both species. DNA-DNA hybridizations between both strains showed 100% (99.9%) similarity. Therefore, the reclassification of S. glossinae as a later synonym of S. fonticola is proposed, based upon the estimated phylogenetic position derived from 16S rRNA gene sequence data, biochemical data and DNA-DNA hybridization results.
