Acinetobacter guangdongensis Feng et al. 2014 is a junior heterotypic synonym of Acinetobacter indicus Malhotra et al. 2012
2017
A draft whole-genome sequence was obtained for
Acinetobacter guangdongensis
strain KCTC 42012T and compared against those of the type strains of all Acinetobacter species with validly published names. High similarity was found to
Acinetobacter indicus
CCM 7832T (average nucleotide identity based on blast and digital DNA–DNA hybridization values of 96.3 and 70.4 %, respectively). In addition, the metabolic, physiological and chemotaxonomic features of KCTC 42012T were shown to be congruent with those of
A. indicus
. We conclude that
Acinetobacter guangdongensis
Feng et al. 2014 is a later heterotypic synonym of Acinetobacter indicus Malhotra et al. 2012.
