Hiraishi et al. 2000
Hiraishi A, Kuraishi H, Kawahara K. Emendation of the description of Blastomonas natatoria (Sly 1985) Sly and Cahill 1997 as an aerobic photosynthetic bacterium and reclassification of Erythromonas ursincola Yurkov et al. 1997 as Blastomonas ursincola comb. nov. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2000; 50:1113-1118.
Notes:- Emendation accompanied by the proposal of 1 new species in the genus.
- According to Hiraishi et al. 2000 [1], phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data confirm that the genus Blastomonas is distinct from the genus Sphingomonas Yabuuchi et al. 1990 and other genera of the α-4 group of the α-Proteobacteria. These data turn down the proposal of Yabuuchi et al. 1999 [2, 3] for transfer of Blastomonas natatoria and Erythromonas ursincola Yurkov et al. 1997 to the genus Sphingomonas.
