Clostridium felsineum and Clostridium acetobutylicum are two distinct species that are phylogenetically closely related

The gene sequences encoding the 16S rRNA of Clostridium felsineum DSM 794(T) and NCIMB 10690(T) were determined. Both sequences exhibited a relatively very low degree of similarity to the previously determined 16S rRNA gene sequence from C. felsineum DSM 794(T). C. felsineum is a member of the major Clostridium cluster, cluster I, and is phylogenetically closely related to Clostridium acetobutylicum. DNA--DNA hybridization results clearly indicated that C. felsineum and C. acetobutylicum belong to distinct species.
