Division of the genus Chryseobacterium: Observation of discontinuities in amino acid identity values, a possible consequence of major extinction events, guides transfer of nine species to the genus…

Average Amino Acid Identity (#AAI) vs type species is easier and as good as phylogenomic trees to identify genus or distinguish genera in bacteria. Works best when combined with differentiating phenotypes and genes as in this Chryseobacterium paper. https
