Abstract excerpt
DNA relatedness experiments were performed with 38 clinical isolates and 13 reference strains of coryneform taxa exhibiting a lipid requirement for optimal growth. Forty-five of these strains split into five genomic groups at the species level, whereas six other strains remained unclustered. Genomospecies II fits Corynebacterium accolens, but the other genomospecies were not genetically related to any of the...
