Synonymy of Flavobacterium pectinovorum Dorey with Cytophaga johnsonae Stanier

Abstract: Several authors have suggested that Flavobacterium pectinovorum Dorey 1959 should be removed from the genus Flavobacterium and that it might be a Cytophaga species. An extensive study of the morphological, physiological, biochemical, and antimicrobial lytic properties of the holotypic strain NCIB 9059 (ATCC 19366) of F . pectinovorum has revealed that it is more properly classified as Cytophaga johnsonae Stanier 1947. The guanine-plus-cytosine ratio of 33 mol% agrees with the range reported for C. johnsome (30… Show more

“…These enzymes may be involved in utilization of glucose-containing hemicelluloses, such as xyloglucans, and the ␤-1,3-glucan laminarin, or they may allow partial digestion of cellulose. The ␤-glucosidases also likely account for the ability of F. johnsoniae to utilize cellobiose and cellohexaose (Table 2) (21). F. johnsoniae is also known to utilize starch (21,87) and dextran (40), and genes encoding candidate enzymes involved in the utilization of these polysaccharides were identified ( Table S1 in the supplemental material).…”

Carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs) are present in 11 of the 138 glycohydrolases and in seven additional proteins that do not have obvious catalytic domains (Fjoh_0913, Fjoh_1470, Fjoh_1765, Fjoh_2035, Fjoh_2869, Fjoh_3324, Fjoh_4174).…”

“…In other words, there may be a closer relationship between such flavobacteria and the cytophagas than is reflected by the present classification. In fact, one "flavobacterium" has already been reclassified as a Cytophaga (Christensen, 1977b). Flavobacteria mentioned in the literature may in many cases have been in reality cytophagas.…”

“…Our isolates differ from C. jlevensis in their ability to hydrolyse starch, gelatin and carrageenan and to utilize cellobiose and trehalose as sources of carbon and energy. Flavobacterium pectinovorum (Dorey, 1959), considered by Mitchell et al (1969) to be a species of Cytophaga and by Christensen (1977a) to be synonymous with C. johnsonae, hydrolyses both starch and gelatin but not agar. Flavobacterium meningosepticurn, which may also be a species of Cytophaga (Mitchell et al, 1969), and FZavobacterium group IIb (Owen & Lapage, 1974) have a mol yo GC of 36 to 38, which is close to that of the isolates described in this paper, but they differ from our isolates in a number of other respects ( Table 5).…”
