Abstract
The draft genome sequence of Sphingomonas paucimobilis host index number (HER) 1398, host of the giant PAU phage isolated from silk moths (Bombyx mori), indicates that this isolate belongs within the genus Sphingobacterium. We suggest that Sphingomonas paucimobilis strain HER1398 be reclassified as Sphingobacterium paucimobilis strain HER1398.

Sphingomonas paucimobilis host index number (HER) 1398 was obtained from the Félix D’Hérelle Reference Center for Bacterial Viruses at the University of Laval, Quebec City, Canada
The isolate was originally classified as Pseudomonas paucimobilis [1], but it was reclassified as Sphingomonas paucimobilis strain HER1398 by the Félix D’Hérelle Reference Center
The draft genome sequence indicates that Sphingomonas paucimobilis HER1398 is a member of the genus Sphingobacterium
Summary
Sphingomonas paucimobilis host index number (HER) 1398 was obtained from the Félix D’Hérelle Reference Center for Bacterial Viruses at the University of Laval, Quebec City, Canada. The isolate was originally classified as Pseudomonas paucimobilis [1], but it was reclassified as Sphingomonas paucimobilis strain HER1398 by the Félix D’Hérelle Reference Center. The draft genome sequence indicates that Sphingomonas paucimobilis HER1398 is a member of the genus Sphingobacterium. BLAST analysis indicates 94 to 96% identity of the 16S rRNA genes to other members of this genus, including Sphingobacterium bambusae and Sphingobacterium composti [2, 3].
