A previous study reported on the isolation of 430 polysaccharide (gum)-producing bacteria from a South African sugarcane processing factory and the identification of isolates by comparative 16S rRNA gene sequencing. A large number of isolates (202) belonged to the genus Weissella and clustered with reference strains of Weissella cibaria and Weissella confusa. In this study, we identified 147 strains as W. cibaria and 55 as W. confusa based on phylogenetic analyses of pheS and dnaA gene sequences of representative isolates. We also included atpA gene sequence analysis of Weissella isolates as potential future phylogenetic marker to differentiate amongst strains of W. cibaria and W. confusa.
