sp. nov., sp. nov., sp. nov. and sp. nov., isolated from diverse environmental sources, and emended description of the genus .

Bacteria isolated from onion bulbs suffering from bacterial decay in the United States and Norway were previously shown to belong to the genus based on partial housekeeping gene sequences and/or fatty acid analysis. However, many strains could not be assigned to any existing species. Additionally, strains isolated from creek water and oak as well as a strain with bioremediation properties were assigned to based on partial housekeeping gene sequences.
