sp. nov., from the digestive tract of laboratory-reared bumblebee queens () Free

Abstract

Three bacterial strains belonging to the genus were isolated from the digestive tracts of laboratory-reared bumblebee queens () using MRS agar under anaerobic conditions. The isolates were identified according to 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis as undescribed members of the genus , with the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (96.9 %) to the uncharacterized bacterial strain sp. Mboho2r2 isolated from the stomach of a European honeybee (). was found to be the closest related species with a validly published name, with 92.9 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to the type strain. However, phylogenetic analyses based on different markers revealed that this species is phylogenetically very distant from the novel strains. The DNA G+C content of the proposed type strain BTLCH M1/2 is 37.8 mol%. The fatty acids Cω6 and/or C cyclo ω10/19ω6, Cω9 and C were predominant in all strains. Diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, a phospholipid, seven glycolipids and two phosphoglycolipids were detected in the novel strains. Growth was observed at 47 °C. The peptidoglycan type A4α -Lys–-Asp was determined for strain BTLCH M1/2. Genotypic characteristics and phylogenetic analyses based on the phylogenetic markers , , and as well as phenotypic characteristics and the results of chemotaxonomic analyses confirmed that the new isolates belong to a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is BTLCH M1/2 ( = DSM 26517 = CCM 8440).
