Abstract

A taxonomic study using a polyphasic approach was performed on an unidentified -like Gram-stain-positive bacterium isolated from the genital tract of a rhinoceros. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequencing showed that the bacterium belonged to the genus and was most closely related to the type strains of (98.8 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), (97.8 %), (97.7 %), (97.4 %), (96.6 %), (96.4 %) and (95.4 %). DNA–DNA hybridization values between strain 647 and DSM 25104 were very low, 13.4 % (reciprocal 15.9 %). The genomic DNA G+C content of strain 647 was 58.7 mol%. The presence of the major menaquinone MK-9(H) supported the affiliation of this strain to the genus . The polar lipid profile consisted of the major components diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine and an unidentified phosphoglycolipid. The results of physiological and biochemical testing clearly distinguished the unknown bacterium from other species of the genus . Based on these tests, it is proposed that the unknown bacterium should be classified as a representative of a novel species of the genus named sp. nov. The type strain is 647 (=DSM 102162=LMG 29418).
