We describe the morphological, genetic, and biochemical features of Fusobacterium simiae, a new species which accommodates isolates from monkey dental plaque. F. simiae can be distinguished from currently recognized Fusobacterium species by its ability to produce indole, hydrolyze hippurate, grow in 2% oxgall, and ferment fructose and glucose but not 27 other carbohydrates. The type strain of this new species is 7511 R2-13 (= ATCC 33568).
