An examination of the results of phylogenetic analyses based on the sequences of fragments of the 16S rRNA, gyrB and rpoD genes, and the discrimination of genomovars based on siderophore diversity within the genus Pseudomonas, has added important taxonomic tools in the characterization of Pseudomonas stutzeri. Eighteen reference strains, nine newly identified hydrocarbon-degrading strains and three strains showing relevant physiological characteristics of P. stutzeri, together with the type strains of four related species, were included in the study. A novel genomovar within the species is described. A summary of the methodology used in these studies and the results of our attempts to define a solid internal subdivision of this important species within the genus Pseudomonas are presented and discussed.

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession numbers for the sequences determined in this study are AM905851–AM905859 (16S rRNA gene), AM905860–AM905873 and AM939370–AM939377 (rpoD) and AM905825–AM905838 and AM939378–AM939385 (gyrB).

Details of strains, primers and sequence accession numbers and consensus similarity indices are available as supplementary material with the online version of this paper.
