Proposed minimal standards for describing new taxa of the family Flavobacteriaceae and emended description of the family.
TL;DR: In this paper minimal standards for the description of new genera and cultivable species in the family Flavobacteriaceae are proposed in accordance with Recommendation 30b of the Bacteriological Code (1990 Revision).
Advantages of multilocus sequence analysis for taxonomic studies: a case study using 10 housekeeping genes in the genus Ensifer (including former Sinorhizobium).
TL;DR: The MLSA data support the suggestion that Ensifer xinjiangensis is a later heterotypic synonym of Ensifer fredii and indicate that housekeeping gene sequencing is superior to DNA-DNA hybridization for the assessment of genetic relatedness between Ensifer species.

Helicobacter pullorum sp. nov. - genotype and phenotype of a new species isolated from poultry and from human patients with gastroenteritis
John Stanley,Dennis Linton,André P. Burnens,Floyd E. Dewhirst,Stephen L. W. On,Anthony Porter,Robert J. Owen,Menelaos Costas +7 more
TL;DR: Campylobacter-like organisms isolated from the liver, duodenum and caecum of broiler and layer chickens, and from humans with gastroenteritis, formed a unique DNA homology group and a polyphasic taxonomic analysis identified them as belonging to a single species, within the genus Helicobacter.

Bacillus velezensis sp. nov., a surfactant-producing bacterium isolated from the river Vélez in Málaga, southern Spain
Cristina Ruiz-García,Victoria Béjar,Fernando Martínez-Checa,Inmaculada Llamas,Emilia Quesada +4 more
TL;DR: Two Gram-positive, endospore-forming bacterial strains, CR-502T and CR-14b, which produce surfactant molecules are described and it is proposed that these strains be classified as a novel species of the genus Bacillus, with the name Bacillus velezensis sp.
Proposed minimal standards for the genus Mycobacterium and for description of new slowly growing Mycobacterium species.
TL;DR: The minimal standards for assignment of a strain to the genus Mycobacterium include acid-alcohol fastness, a DNA G+C content in the range from 61 to 71 mol%, and mycolic acid detection with characterization of C22 to C26 pyrolysis esters.
