Abstract
It was reported before that [Pseudomonas] woodsii and Burkholderia andropog onis are phenotypically indistinguishable and probably represent the same t axon, for which the name B. andropogonis has been proposed. In the present study, it was found that [P.] woodsii and B. andropogonis strains were indi stinguishable by whole-cell protein electrophoresis and have a highly simil ar cellular fatty acid composition. A high DNA-DNA binding value of 95 % wa s found between the type strains of both species. In addition, the 16S rDNA sequence of [P.] woodsii strain LMG 2362(T) was very similar to that of B. andropogonis LMG 2129(T) (99.0 %). The chemotaxonomic and genotypic data c onfirm that [P.] woodsii and B. andropogonis represent the same species, fo r which it is proposed to retain the name B. andropogonis.
