Description A set of 25 urease producing, yellow pigmented enterococci was isolated from environmental sources and studied by using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. The phenotypic classification divided the isolates into two groups and both phena were characterized using 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, DNA base composition, rep-PCR fingerprinting and automated ribotyping. The obtained data distinguished the isolates from all validly named Enterococcus spp. and were placed in the Enterococcus faecalis species group. DNA-DNA hybridisation experiments, pheS and rpoA genes sequencing, and whole-cell protein electrophoresis provided conclusive evidence for the classification of both phena as novel Enterococcus species for which the names Enterococcus ureilyticus sp. nov. (type strain CCM 4629T = LMG 26676T = CCUG 48799T), inhabiting water and plants, and Enterococcus rotai sp. nov. (type strain CCM 4630T = LMG 26678T = CCUG 61593T), inhabiting water, insects (mosquitoes) and plants are proposed
