Coyne, V.E., C.J. Pillidge, D.D. Sledjeski, H. Hori, B.A. Ortiz-Conde, D.G. Muir, R.M. Weiner and R.R. Colwell. 1989. Reclassification of Alteromonas colwelliana to the Genus Shewanella by DNA-DNA Hybridization, Serology and 5S Ribosomal RNA Sequence Data. Syst. Appl. Microbiol. 12:275-279. (ERL,GB X660).

The taxonomic relationship between Alteromonas colwelliana and representative Alteromonas and Shewanella strains was determined employing molecular systematics. DNA:DNA hybridization did not reveal homology between A. colwelliana and the other bacterial strains. However, results of comparative serology and 5S rRNA sequence similarity analyses indicated that A. colwelliana is related to Shewanella putrefaciens, Shewanella hanedai Shewanella benthica and thus, is included in the genus Shewanella.
