Abstract

Huge numbers of bacteria reside in the digestive tract of most animals. During an investigation into the bacterial diversity of primates, strain YIM 102668 was isolated. When neighbour-joining phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences was conducted, strain YIM 102668 formed a cluster within the family and in a lineage not associated with any known group of previously proposed genera. Closely related genera were (94.8 %), (94.8 %), (highest 94.6 %), (90.9 %) and (90.6 %). In addition, strain YIM 102668 contained MK-6 as the predominant respiratory quinone and iso-C as the major fatty acid. The major polar lipid was phosphatidylethanolamine and the genomic DNA G+C content was 30.6 mol%. These chemotaxonomic characterizations confirmed that strain YIM 102668 belonged to the family . Supported by the results of phylogenetic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic analyses, we propose that strain YIM 102668 represents a novel genus, for which the name gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YIM 102668 (=KCTC 52109=CCTCC AB 2016016).
