Whole genome-based reclassification of several species of the genus Nonomuraea.

ABSTRACT: Earlier classification methods lacked the resolution necessary to delineate species comparing to current standards, particularly since a significant number of bacterial taxa were described before the integration of whole-genome sequencing into microbial taxonomy. With the advent of genome-based taxonomic approaches and integrated genomic metrics, including sequence similarity and phylogenomic frameworks, it has become essential to reevaluate the taxonomic status of older taxa defined before the era of genome-based microbial taxonomy. Applying these modern genomic criteria enables a more accurate assessment of species boundaries and helps to determine whether the old taxa represent distinct species or should be reclassified as synonyms, subspecies, or members of different genera.
