Chromobacterium iodinum (Davis) differs to such an extent from the type species of Chromobacterium, Chr. violaceum (Bergonzini), that it cannot be retained in this genus. Chemical, morphological and numerical phenetic data indicate a close relationship between Chr. iodinum and the species Brevibacterium linens (Wolff, Breed). It is suggested that Chr. iodinum be reclassified in a redefined genus Brevibacterium as B. iodinum (Davis) nom.rev.; comb.nov.
