Some of these strains resemble Wolinella succinogenes phenotypically, but show no deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-DNA homology with either W. succinogenes or Wolinella recta. In this investigation, six unidentified strains were compared with reference and type strains of W. recta and W. succinogenes by using cluster analysis of phenotypic characteristics, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, and cell wall ultrastructure. One unidentified strain, a sewage isolate, was W. succinogenes. The remaining unidentified strains showed no DNA-DNA homology with either W. succinogenes or W. recta. Wolinella curva sp. nov. is proposed for four isolates which were distinct, as determined by serological and DNA-DNA homology experiments, from the previously described species. W. curva strains could also be differentiated from W. recta by morphology and by the growth of W. curva in the presence of Janus green (0.1 g/liter), basic fuchsin (0.032 g/liter), sodium deoxycholate (1.0 g/liter), indulin scarlet (0.5 g/liter), oxgall (10 g/liter), safranine (0.5 g/liter), azure II (0.025 g/liter), penicillin (16 μg/ml), and polymixin B (4 (μg/ml). W. curva and W. succinogenes are similar in cell ultrastructure and in other phenotypic features. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/00207713-34-3-275
