sp. nov., isolated from the faeces of gelada baboon, the 'bleeding heart' monkey () Free

Abstract

A novel irregularly shaped and slightly curved rod bacterial strain, GLDI4/2, showing activity of fructose 6-phosphate phosphoketolase was isolated from a faecal sample of an adult gelada baboon (). Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA genes as well as multilocus sequences (representing , and genes) and the core genome revealed that GLDI4/2 exhibited phylogenetic relatedness to DSM 21503 and to DSM 24762. Comparative analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences confirmed the phylogenetic results showing the highest gene sequence identity with strain DSM 21503 (96.0 %). Activities of α- and β-gluco(galacto)sidases were detected in strain GLDI4/2, which is characteristic for almost all members of the family . Compared to other species its DNA G+C content (43.8 mol%) was very low. Phylogenetic studies and the evaluation of phenotypic characteristics, including the results of biochemical, physiological and chemotaxonomic analyses, confirmed the novel species status for strain GLDI4/2, for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is GLDI4/2 (=DSM 106019=JCM 32430).
