Abstract
We investigated the taxonomic relationships among
Streptomyces hygroscopicus
subsp.
glebosus
,
Streptomyces libani
subsp.
rufus
and
Streptomyces platensis
. The three species formed a single clade in the phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequence and multilocus sequence analyses. Digital DNA–DNA hybridization using whole genome sequences suggested that
S. hygroscopicus
subsp.
glebosus
,
S. libani
subsp.
rufus
and
S. platensis
belong to the same genomospecies. Previously reported phenotypic data also supported this synonymy. Therefore,
S. hygroscopicus
subsp.
glebosus
and
S. libani
subsp.
rufus
should be reclassified as later heterotypic synonyms of
S. platensis
.
