Abstract

A Gram-reaction-positive, aerobic, catalase-positive, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped bacterium designated IMMIB L-1656 was isolated from an ear swab of a man and characterized using a polyphasic approach. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain IMMIB L-1656 is related to members of the family (<95.1 % sequence similarity). Anaylsis using different phylogenetic algorithms consistently grouped strain IMMIB L-1656 with members of the genus . The organism posessed a cell-wall murein based on -lysine (variation A4, type -Lys–Gly–-Glu), MK-10 as the predominant menaquinone and long-chain cellular fatty acids of straight-chain and branched-chain saturated types (with iso-C and anteiso-C predominating). The polar lipids included diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylinositol in addition to unknown glycolipids. The DNA G+C content was 59.7 mol%. Based on its distinctive genotypic and phenotypic characteristics, strain IMMIB L-1656 represents a novel species in a novel genus, for which the name gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. We also propose that members of the family be transferred to the family with amendments to the description of the suborder The type strain of is IMMIB L-1656 (=DSM 45359 =CCUG 57943).
