Based on the sequence analysis of their 16S rRNA genes, the G+C contents (67.4-69.2%), quinone type (UQ-8), major fatty acid compositions (3-0H 10:0, 3-OH 14:0) and other phylogenetic studies, strains 3001T, #12 and #13 were found to occupy a separate position in the β-subclass of the Proteobacteria.
