Abstract
By a polyphasic approach (DNA:rRNA and DNA:DNA hybridizations, and computer assisted analysis of auxanographic results) it was shown that Herbaspirillum seropedicae, EF group 1 strains and the generically misnamed [Pseudomonas] rubrisubalbicans and [Aquaspirillum] autotrophicum constitute one genus. Within this genus we delineated four groups that each deserve species rank. Species 1 contains EF group 1 strains and [Pseudomonas] rubrisubalbicans strains; species 2 is composed only of [Pseudomonas] rubrisubalbicans strains including the type strain. Species 3 contains Herbaspirillum seropedicae and one [Pseudomonas] rubrisubalbicans strain. Species 4 corresponds to [Aquaspirillum] autotrophicum.
