aRepresentative strains for each DNA group (1 to 12, TU13 to TU15, CTTU13, 1-3, BJ14 to BJ17) are those listed in ref. 2. The designations AJ247210 and AR refer to A. radioresistens LMG 10614 (genospecies 12) and to our isolate, respectively. Nucleotides in bold highlight the differences between members of genospecies 12.
