They were obligately anaerobic, gram-negative, nonpigmenting, non-motile, non-spore-forming rods that did not grow well in 10% bile and that fermented carbohydrates. Although we had previously identified many of these strains as members of B. ruminicola subsp. brevis biovar (biotype) 3 (Holdeman et al. [ed.], Anaerobe Laboratory Manual, 4th ed., 1977), in the present study, we found that the strains had no deoxyribonucleic acid homology with the type strains of B. ruminicola subsp. ruminicola or B. ruminicola subsp. brevis. The strains also had no deoxyribonucleic acid homology with the type strain of B. oralis. ATCC 27518, which we deposited as representative of human isolates of B. ruminicola subsp. brevis biovar 3, is now identified as a strain of B. oris. The type strains of B. oris and B. buccae are B. oris ATCC 33573 and B. buccae ATCC 33574, respectively.", }
