The budding bacterium Blastobacter natatorius belongs to the alpha-4 group of the Proteobacteria and clusters phylogenetically on a deep branch with Sphingomonas capsulata, with which it shares 93.9% 16S rRNA sequence similarity. On phylogenetic, phenotypic, and chemotaxonomic grounds a proposal is made to transfer B. natatorius to the genus Blastomonas gen. nov. as Blastomonas natatoria comb. nov.
出芽细菌游泳芽生杆菌属于变形菌门的α-4组,在系统发育上与荚膜鞘氨醇单胞菌聚集在一个深分支上,它与荚膜鞘氨醇单胞菌共享93.9%的16S rRNA序列相似性。基于系统发育、表型和化学分类学依据,提议将游泳芽生杆菌转移到新属芽单胞菌属,命名为新组合种游泳芽单胞菌。
