Eighteen strains of gram-negative, aerobic, denitrifying bacteria that are either presently classified as Pseudomonas denitrificans or that might conform to the species description have been examined in some detail. On the basis of phenotypic characterization and of limited deoxyribonucleic acid and ribosomal ribonucleic acid homology studies, they appear to belong to several species and to at least two genera. Some of the strains are described without assigning them new specific names. It is recommended that the name Pseudomonas denitrificans be abandoned as a nomen ambiguum.
