Thirty-six strains of @entity1543 bacteria classified in the genera @entity37106 , @entity15549 , and Acidomonas were examined for their partial base sequences in positions 1220 through 1375, 156 bases, of 16S rRNA. The strains of the Q10-equipped @entity15549 species examined were divided into two subgroups, which included the type strains of @entity15549 , the type species of the genus @entity15549 , and of a second species, @entity15549 cerinus, respectively. The base differences numbered four between the two type strains. The strains of the Q9-equipped species examined classified in the type subgenus @entity37106 of the genus @entity37106 were not very distant phylogenetically from those of the genus @entity15549 . The calculated number of base differences was 9-6 between the type strains of @entity15549 and @entity15549 and the type strains of @entity33182 and @entity37106 . In contrast, the strains of the Q10-equipped species examined classified in the subgenus Gluconoacetobacter of the genus @entity37106 were very distant phylogenetically from those of the @entity37106 and @entity15549 species mentioned above. The number of base differences was calculated to be 14-8. Furthermore, the strains of the @entity1042 -assimilating, Q10-equipped species of the genus Acidomonas examined were located in phylogenetically isolated positions. The type strain of Acidomonas methanolica (identical to @entity37106 methanolicus), the type species of the genus Acidomonas, had 16-9 base differences. The data obtained here indicated that the members of the subgenus Gluconoacetobacter of the genus @entity37106 can be distinguished at the generic level. The new genus Gluconoacetobacter was proposed with the type species, Gluconoacetobacter liquefaciens, in recognition of the genus Acidomonas along with the genera @entity37106 and @entity15549 in the classification of the @entity1543 bacteria.
