Pseudomonas beijerinckii (type strain DSM 7218T=ATCC 19372T=NCIMB 9041T) was isolated from salted beans and was first described by Hof in 1935. 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons demonstrated its close relatedness (>97–99 %) to species of the genus Chromohalobacter. A recent isolate from salted herrings originating from the Baltic Sea, strain 3b, also clustered phylogenetically within this genus. Phenotypic features, substrate utilization, fatty acid profile, quinone and polar lipid composition and whole-cell protein patterns supported the similarity of strain 3b to P. beijerinckii DSM 7218T and confirmed its relatedness to members of the genus Chromohalobacter. The G+C content of the DNA from strain 3b and P. beijerinckii DSM 7218T was 60.4 and 60.7 mol%, respectively. DNA–DNA hybridization data showed that the two strains represent the same species, but are separated from Chromohalobacter canadensis, the closest species from a phylogenetic point of view. Therefore, the reclassification of Pseudomonas beijerinckii as Chromohalobacter beijerinckii comb. nov. (type strain DSM 7218T=ATCC 19372T=NCIMB 9041T) is proposed. The species description has been emended considering the new data on both the type strain and strain 3b.


The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain 3b is AM048787.
