Popis: Summary Three Blastobacter strains from lake- or pondwater are described. They differ in initial bud morphology, capsule or rosette formation, and motility. There were also differences in their utilization of methanol, formate, formamide, ethanol, succinate, glutarate, L-proline, and urea. The temperature optima were 36 °C (strain IFAM 3 1003), 27 °C (IFAM 1004), and 41 °C (IFAM 1005). A comparison with data from the literature for “ Blastobacter viscosus ” strain 7d, “ B. aminooxidans ” strain 14A, “ B. natatorius ” strain UQM 2507, and the type species ( B. henricii ) revealed species-specific differences with all three new strains. These are, therefore, described as new species: Blastobacter aggregatus sp. nov. (IFAM 1003 = DSM 4 111), B. capsulatus sp. nov. (IFAM 1004 = DSM 112), and B. denitrificans sp. nov. (IFAM 1005 = DSM 113). A key is given for the determination of Blastobacter species.
