None of the species Carnobacterium piscicola, C. divergens, C. mobile or C. gallinarum showed significant DNA-DNA homology between themselves and other lactic acid bacteria [corrected]. Nevertheless, the Carnobacterium species were found to belong to the same ribosomal RNA homology cluster. The species in this cluster were distant from the other bacteria tested.
