Abstract
Desulfomicrobium escambiense, Desulfomicrobium baculatum, Desulfomicro bium apsheronum, and Desulfovibrio desulfuricans Norway 4 are closely related as determined by a 16S rRNA comparison (levels of relatedness, 0.976 to 0.997) and are distinct on the basis of levels of DNA-DNA si milarity (11.1 to 27.4%), genomic restriction fragment length polymorp hism patterns, and certain phenotypic characteristics. We proposed tha t Desulfovibrio desulfuricans Norway 4 be renamed Desulfomicrobium nor vegicum comb. nov.
