New insights into the relationship between the average nucleotide identity and the digital DNA–DNA hybridization values in the genus Amycolatopsis and Amycolatopsis cynarae sp. nov., a novel actinobacterium from the rhizosphere soil of Cynara scolymus, and proposal of Amycolatopsis niigatensis as a synonym of Amycolatopsis echigonensis based on comparative genomic analysis
At present, it is widely believed that a 95–96% average nucleotide identity (ANI) value is equivalent to a 70% digital DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH) value in the prokaryotic taxonomy. However, in the present study, comparative genome analysis of 29 pairs of Amycolatopsis type strains revealed that a...
