Note: The previously listed 16S rRNA sequence (accession number S50214) for the type strain has about 40 "N" ambiguities. Another sequence, from type strain NBRC 15551 deposited in GenBank under accession number AB680901 has no ambiguities and will be used hereafter in LPSN [Personal communication, Karine Desjardins, August 2016].
