Reclassification of Cellulomonas cellulans (Stackebrandt and Keddie 1986) as Cellulosimicrobium cellulans gen. nov., comb. nov

Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2001 May;51(Pt 3):1007-1010. doi: 10.1099/00207713-51-3-1007.

Abstract

Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rDNA provides evidence that Cellulomonas cellulans branches outside the phylogenetic confines of the genus Cellulomonas. The distinct phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic status of Cellulomonas cellulans as a phylogenetic neighbour of the genus Promicromonospora, justifies the description of a new genus for which the name Cellulosimicrobium gen. nov. with the type species Cellulosimicrobium cellulans comb. nov. is proposed.
