sp. nov., a butyrate-producing bacterium from swine intestinal tract Free

Abstract

A Gram-stain-positive, non-motile, butyrate-producing coccus was cultured from the distal ileum of swine. This organism was isolated on rumen-fluid medium, consumes acetate, and produces butyrate as its major end product when grown on mono- and di-saccharides. A phylogenetic analysis based on near full-length 16S rRNA gene sequences as well as whole-genome phylogenies suggests that this isolate is most closely related to species in the genus , with being the closest named relative (93.5 % 16S similarity). The G+C content of this isolate is 54 mol%, and the major cellular fatty acids are C DMA, C, Cω9 and C. These data indicate that this isolate represents a novel species within the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of is BB10 (ATCC TSD-102, DSM 104997).
