Abstract
Morphological features, genomic DNA base composition and 16S rDNA sequence similarities, as well as a distinct phospholipid pattern, whole-cell fatty acid distribution and the occurrence of the lipoquinone 'lipid F', indicate that Clostridium quercicolum belongs to the Sporomusa-Pectinatus-Selenomon as phyletic group and possesses only a remote relationship to members of th e genus Clostridium sensu stricto. On the basis of these results, the new g enus and combination Dendrosporobacter quercicolus gen. nov., comb, nov. ar e proposed.
