    Abstract:
    Deinococcus saudiensis YIM F302T was compared with Deinococcus soli N5T to examine the taxonomic relationship between the two type strains. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of D. saudiensis YIM F302T showed high similarity (99.9 %) to that of D. soli N5T. The results of phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the two strains formed a tight cluster within the genus Deinococcus. A draft genomic comparison between the two strains revealed average nucleotide identity values of 96.8-97.9 % and a digital DNA-DNA hybridization estimate of 80.7±1.9 %, strongly indicating that the two strains represented a single species. Based on the combined phylogenetic, genomic and phenotypic characterization presented here, we propose D. saudiensis as a later heterotypic synonym of D. soli N5T.
