Phylogenetic analysis supporting the taxonomic revision of eight genera within the bacterial order .

The diverse members of the are agriculturally and medically relevant species that have continued to undergo taxonomic revision. To assess the current taxonomy of 64 genera of the , we carried out a phylogenetic analysis using 32 single-copy core proteins. The resulting phylogeny was robust, and shows that eight genera - , , , , , '', and - are currently assigned to incorrect families. Taxonomic reassignment of these genera was also supported by average amino acid identity comparisons. We propose taxonomic revision of these genera to reflect their phylogenetic position within the .
