Note: The type strain has been deposited in the Collection Nationale de Cultures Microbiennes (CNCM I-1017) as a patent strain. According to J.P. Touzel [1], this strain is available without restrictions to the scientific community. However, according to D. Fritze (cited in N.A. Logan [2]), the strain CNCM I-1017 is unavailable.
