Abstract
Deoxyribonucleic acid base composition, deoxyribonucleic acid-deoxyribonucleic acid hybridization, and biochemical studies were performed on some problematic enterococci of unknown taxonomic position. Our results indicate that some motile, nonpigmented strains are members of Enterococcus gallinarum, whereas motile, yellow-pigmented strains belong to Enterococcus casseliflavus. Four nonmotile, yellow-pigmented strains were biochemically and genetically distinct from all previously described Enterococcus species and constitute a new species, for which the name Enterococcus mundtii is proposed. The type strain of Enterococcus mundtii is strain NCDO 2375.
