Abstract

A Gram-stain-positive, coccus-shaped, non-motile bacterium, designated CF-49, was isolated from the cloacal content of a snow finch, which was incidentally captured in a plateau pika burrow on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, PR China. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that strain CF-49 was closely related to CCUG 51432 (96.5 % similarity), NCFB 2497 (96.0 %) and CCUG 39187 (95.9 %), whereas the similarity to another isolate (CF-210) was 99.9 %. Strains CF-49 and CF-210 grew optimally at 37 °C and pH 7.0 and in the presence of 0.5 % (w/v) NaCl. Acid was produced from -acetylglucosamine, cellobiose, -fructose, -glucose, -mannose, -mannitol, maltose, -ribose and salicin. The cell-wall peptidoglycan type was A4α (-Lys-Asp). The major cellular fatty acids (>10 %) were C (35.6 %), C (17.3 %), C ω9 (16.2 %) and C ω9 (10.6 %). The predominant respiratory quinone was menaquinone MK-7 (68.8 %). The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 35.9 mol%. Digital DNA–DNA hybridization of strain CF-49 with DSM 5731, CCUG 51432and CCUG 39187 resulted in relatedness values of 21.4, 23.3 and 24.6 %, respectively. Based on results from polyphasic analyses, our two isolates are proposed to represent a novel species in the genus , with the name . The type strain is CF-49 (=CGMCC 1.6436=GDMCC 1.1588=JCM 33477).
