Leclercia adecarboxylata (Leclerc 1962) Tamura et al. 1987, comb. nov. (Type species of the genus).
Type strain (see also StrainInfo.net): strain ATCC 23216 = CIP 82.92 = DSM 5077 = HAMBI 1696 = JCM 1667 = LMG 2803 = NBRC 102595 = NCTC 13032.
GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of the type strain: JN175338.
Basonym: ¤ Escherichia adecarboxylata Leclerc 1962 (Approved Lists 1980).
Etymology: Gr. pref. a, not; N.L. n. decarboxylum [from new Fr. n. decarboxyl (from Fr. n. carboxyl)], removal of a molecule of carbon dioxide from an organic compound; L. suff. -atus -a -um, suffix meaning provided with; N.L. fem. adj. adecarboxylata, without decarboxylase activity; because it has negative reactions in lysine decarboxylase, ornithine decarboxylase and arginine dihydrolase; i.e., “triple decarboxylase negative”.
