Reclassification of as a later heterotypic synonym of .

We investigated the taxonomic relationships among , and . These type strains shared the same 16S rRNA gene sequence. Digital DNA-DNA relatedness and average nucleotide identity analyses using whole genome sequences suggested that and belong to the same genomospecies, whereas does not. In addition to previously reported phenotypic data, the presence of almost the same set of secondary metabolite-biosynthetic gene clusters for polyketides and nonribosomal peptides also supported the synonymy between and . Therefore, should be reclassified as a later heterotypic synonym of .
