sp. nov., isolated from the trachea of white stork nestlings Free

Abstract

A Gram-stain-positive, pleomorphic, oxidase-negative, non-motile isolate from the trachea of a white stork from Poland, designated strain 136/3, was subjected to a comprehensive taxonomic investigation. A comparative analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed highest similarities to , , and (96.0–96.3 %). The quinone system consisted of major amounts of MK-8(H), minor amounts of MK-9(H) and traces of MK-8 and MK-9. The polar lipid profile of strain 136/3 contained phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylinositol-mannoside as major lipids and phosphatidylglycerol and an acidic glycolipid in moderate amounts. In addition small amounts of diphosphatidylglycerol, a phospholipid, an aminolipid and two lipids of unknown group affiliation were found. The polyamine pattern was composed of the major components spermidine and spermine. Putrescine, 1,3-diaminopropane, cadaverine, -homospermidine and tyramine were found in minor or trace amounts. The diamino acid of the peptidoglycan was -diaminopimelic acid. In the fatty acid profile straight-chain, saturated and mono-unsaturated fatty acids predominated (Cω9, Cω7, C, C  ). Corynemycolic acids were detected. Physiological traits as well as unique traits of the polar lipid profile and the fatty acid pattern distinguished strain 136/3 from the most closely related species. All these results indicate that strain 136/3 represents a novel species of the genus for which we propose the name sp. nov. The type strain is 136/3 ( = CIP 110778 = CCM 8517 = LMG 28174).
