The taxonomic positions of strains previously assigned to Pseudomonas diminuta and Pseudomonas vesicularis were investigated by a polyphasic approach. The results of DNA-rRNA hybridization studies indicated that these two species belong to a separate genus in the alpha subclass (rRNA superfamily IV) of the Proteobacteria, for which the name Brevundimonas is proposed. Genus delineation and species delineation were determined by comparing the results of numerical analyses of whole-cell protein patterns, fatty acid compositions, and phenotypic characteristics and by measuring DNA base ratios and degrees of DNA relatedness. Taxonomic characteristics of Brevundimonas diminuta and Brevundimonas vesicularis strains were compared with characteristics of reference strains belonging to the following phylogenetically related taxa: a group of organisms gathered in Enevold Falsen group 21, the genera Sphingomonas and Rhizomonas, and the generically misclassified organisms [Pseudomonas] echinoides and "[Pseudomonas] riboflavina."
采用多相分类方法研究了先前归为缺陷假单胞菌和泡囊假单胞菌的菌株的分类地位。DNA-rRNA杂交研究结果表明，这两个种属于变形菌门α亚纲（rRNA超家族IV）中的一个独立属，为此提议将其命名为短波单胞菌属。通过比较全细胞蛋白质图谱、脂肪酸组成和表型特征的数值分析结果，以及测量DNA碱基比率和DNA相关性程度，确定了属的划分和种的划分。将短波单胞菌属缺陷种和短波单胞菌属泡囊种菌株的分类特征与属于以下系统发育相关分类单元的参考菌株的特征进行了比较：聚集在埃内沃尔德·法尔森第21组的一组生物、鞘氨醇单胞菌属和根单胞菌属，以及分类错误的生物[假单胞菌属]刺状菌和“[假单胞菌属]核黄素菌”。
