sp. nov., isolated from the Free

Abstract

Two previously undescribed, Gram-stain-positive, rod-shaped strains, 410 and 553, were isolated from faeces of the Tibetan antelope () from the Tibet-Qinghai Plateau, PR China. The optimum growth conditions of the two novel strains were 1 % (w/v) NaCl, 37 °C and pH 7. The end products from glucose fermentation included ethanol and lactic acid. Based on results of 16S rRNA gene sequence comparison and phylogenetic and phylogenomic analyses, strains 410 and 553 were classified into the genus , and were closely related to (97.6 %), (93.5 %) and (90.8 %). The genomic G+C content of strain 410 was 67.4 mol%. Digital DNA–DNA hybridization values between strain 410 and each of the closely related species were under 70 %. The respiratory quinones were MK-10 (68 %) and MK-9 (32 %). The main cellular fatty acids of the isolates were C, followed by C 9. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylinositol-mannoside. The whole-cell sugars contained rhamnose, ribose and glucose. The diagnostic amino acids of cell-wall peptidoglycan included alanine, glutamic acid, lysine and ornithine. The results of biochemical, chemotaxonomic and genotypic analyses revealed that the two novel strains represent a novel species of genus , for which the name s sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 410 (=CGMCC 1.16361= DSM 106201).
