We propose the transfer of Pseudomonas
perfectomarina to the species Pseudomonas stutzeri as
strain
ZoBell. The proposal is based on 60% deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-DNA
homology
with P. stutzeri ATCC 17588T,
a
similar guanine-plus-cytosine content, and the conformity of more than
100 nutritional and general characteristics.
