A numerical taxonomic study of the genusErwinia

Abstract

From data reported in taxonomic studies of the genus Erwinia in 1968 and 1969, 4 numerical analyses were made; the results were presented as dendrograms. The analyses confirm some of the proposals made in 1968 and 1969 and provide new information on which proposals are made for the classification of other nomenspecies. Because of recent nomenclatural changes in bacterial names, an up-to-date list is given of the correct name for each nomenspecies included in this study.
