Abstract

Six strains of anaerobic, pleomorphic Gram-positive bacilli, isolated from the human oral cavity and an infected arm wound, were subjected to a comprehensive range of phenotypic and genotypic tests and were found to comprise a homogeneous group. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that the isolates were most closely related to CCUG 35729 (94.8–94.9 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity). The isolates were saccharolytic and produced acetic and lactic acids as end products of fermentation. The major fatty acids were C (49.8 %) and C 9 (35.8 %). Polar lipid analysis revealed a variety of glycolipids, diphosphatidylglycerol, an unidentified phospholipid and an unidentified phosphoglycolipid. No respiratory quinones were detected. The peptidoglycan was of the type A4 -Lys–Thr–Glu, with -lysine partially replaced by -ornithine. The DNA G+C content of one of the strains, C1A_55 was 55 mol%. A novel species, sp. nov., is proposed to accommodate the six isolates, with the type strain C1A_55 (=DSM 22547=CCUG 58090).
