title: Reclassification of Anaerobaculum mobile, Anaerobaculum thermoterrenum, Anaerobaculum hydrogeniformans as Acetomicrobium mobile comb. nov., Acetomicrobium thermoterrenum comb. nov. and Acetomicrobium hydrogeniformans comb. nov., respectively, and emendation of the genus Acetomicrobium.
abstract: Taking into account their 16S rRNA gene sequences, it appears thatAcetomicrobium flavidumand the three species of the genusAnaerobaculumdescribed so far belong to the same phylogenetic clade with high levels (>95 %) of similarity. In this respect, these threeAnaerobaculumspecies should be reclassified within the genusAcetomicrobium, which has priority over the genusAnaerobaculum, which was validated since the genusAcetomicrobium. The DNA G+C content ofAcetomicrobium flavidumis 47.1 mol%, which is of the same order as that of the threeAnaerobaculumspecies. All these bacteria have in common iso-C15 : 0as their main fatty acid. Based on further phylogenetic, genetic and chemotaxonomic studies, we propose thatAnaerobaculum mobile( = DSM 13181T= JCM 12221T),Anaerobaculum thermoterrenum( = DSM 13490T= ACM 5076T) andAnaerobaculum hydrogeniformans( = DSM 22491T= ATCC BAA-1850T) be reclassified asAcetomicrobium mobilecomb. nov.,Acetomicrobium thermoterrenumcomb. nov. andAcetomicrobium hydrogeniformanscomb. nov., respectively. The four bacterial species belong to the phylumSynergistetes.
