| Title |
Polyphasic taxonomic revision of the Ralstonia solanacearum species complex: proposal to emend the descriptions of Ralstonia solanacearum and Ralstonia syzygii and reclassify current R. syzygii strains as Ralstonia syzygii subsp. syzygii subsp. nov., R. solanacearum phylotype IV strains as Ralstonia syzygii subsp. indonesiensis subsp. nov., banana blood disease bacterium strains as Ralstonia syzygii subsp. celebesensis subsp. nov. and R. solanacearum phylotype I and III strains as Ralstoniapseudosolanacearum sp. nov.

| Abstract |
The Ralstonia solanacearum species complex has long been recognized as a group of phenotypically diverse strains that can be subdivided into four phylotypes. Using a polyphasic taxonomic approach on an extensive set of strains, this study provides evidence for a taxonomic and nomenclatural revision of members of this complex. Data obtained from phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences, 16S-23S rRNA intergenic spacer (ITS) region sequences, partial endoglucanase (egl) gene sequences and DNA-DNA hybridizations demonstrate that the Ralstonia solanacearum species complex is comprised of three genospecies. One of these includes the type strain of R. solanacearum and consists of R. solanacearum phylotype II strains only. The second genospecies includes the type strain of R. syzygii and contains only phylotype IV strains. This genospecies is subdivided into three distinct groups, namely R. syzygii, the causal agent of Sumatra disease on clove trees in Indonesia, R. solanacearum phylotype IV strains isolated from different host plants mostly from Indonesia, and strains of the blood disease bacterium (BDB), the causal agent of the Banana Blood Disease, a bacterial wilt disease in Indonesia affecting bananas and plantains. The last genospecies is composed of R. solanacearum strains belonging to phylotypes I and III. As these genospecies are also supported by phenotypic data that allow the differentiation of the three genospecies, the following taxonomic proposals are made: emendation of the descriptions of R. solanacearum and R. syzygii, descriptions of Ralstonia syzygii subsp. syzygii (R 001T = LMG 10661T = DSM 7385T) for the current R. syzygii strains, Ralstonia syzygii subsp. indonesiensis subsp. nov. (UQRS 464T = LMG 27703T = DSM 27478T) for the current R. solanacearum phylotype IV strains, Ralstonia syzygii subsp. celebesensis subsp. nov. (UQRS 627T = LMG 27706T = DSM 27477T) for the BDB strains and Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum sp. nov. (UQRS 461T = LMG 9673T = NCPPB 1029T) for the R. solanacearum phylotype I and III strains. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 26 December 2021.
All research outputs
#7,047,954
of 25,377,790 outputs
Outputs from International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology
#3,044
of 10,706 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#63,161
of 242,963 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology
#11
of 142 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,377,790 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 71st percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 10,706 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.3. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 71% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 242,963 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 73% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 142 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 90% of its contemporaries.
