Abstract: 
Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicates that two distinct
sublineages exist within the genus Alcaligenes: the Alcaligenes faecalis
lineage, comprising Alcaligenes aquatilis and A. faecalis (with the
three subspecies A. faecalis subsp. faecalis, A. faecalis subsp.
parafaecalis and A. faecalis subsp. phenolicus), and the Alcaligenes
defragrans lineage, comprising A. defragrans. This phylogenetic
discrimination is supported by phenotypic and chemotaxonomic
differences. It is proposed that the A. defragrans lineage constitutes a
distinct genus, for which the name Castellaniella gen. nov. is
proposed. The type strain for Castellaniella defragrans gen. nov., comb.
nov. is 54PinT (=CCUG 39790T = CIP 105602T = DSM 12141T). Finally, on
the basis of data from the literature and new DNA-DNA hybridization and
phenotypic data, the novel species Castellaniella denitrificans sp. nov.
(type strain NKNTAUT = DSM 11046T = CCUG 39541T) is proposed for two
strains previously identified as strains of A. defragrans.
