classification

Objective. To analyze the current taxonomic structure of the genus Stenotrophomonas based on genomic data, taking into account limitations associated with nomenclatural validation processes. Materials and Methods. A reference dataset was constructed using taxonomic information from LPSN (List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature) and genome assemblies retrieved from the NCBI database. Pairwise average nucleotide identity (ANI) and average amino acid identity (AAI) values were calculated. Species delineation was performed using the commonly accepted threshold of ANI ≥ 95%.
