The 16S rDNA sequence similarities between the type strains of Sphingomonas paucimobilis and 32 other Sphingomonas species range from 90.2 to 99.6%. It might be possible to divide the genus into several new genera according to a dendrogram drawn from 16S rDNA sequence similarity. However, the phenotypic and biochemical information needed to define clusters of strains representing distinct genera within this group...
