Based on the results of phenotypic characterization, cellular lipid an
d fatty acid analysis, phylogenetic analysis of 16S rDNA nucleotide se
quences and rRNA-DNA hybridization, Burkholderia pickettii, Burkholder
ia solanacearum and Alcaligenes eutrophus are transferred to the new g
enus Ralstonia, and Ralstonia pickettii (Ralston, Palleroni and Doudor
off 1973) comb. nov., Ralstonia solanacearum (Smith 1896) comb. nov.,
and R. eutropha (Davis 1969) comb. nov. are proposed. The type species
of the new genus is R. pickettii. Type strain of R. pickettii is ATCC
27511(T), of R. solanacearum is ATCC 10696(T), and of R. eutropha is
ATCC 17697(T).
