sp. nov., isolated from a water trough and the faeces of healthy sheep Free

Abstract

In the context of a study on the occurrence of species in an animal farm environment in Valencia, Spain, six -like isolates could not be assigned to any known species. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene and on 231 core genes grouped these isolates in a monophyletic clade within the genus , with highest similarity to . Whole-genome sequence analyses based on DNA–DNA hybridization, the average nucleotide and the pairwise amino acid identities against all currently known species confirmed that these isolates constituted a new taxon within the genus . Phenotypically, these isolates differed from other species mainly by the production of acid from inositol, the absence of acidification in presence of methyl α--glucoside, and the absence of α-mannosidase and nitrate reductase activities. The name sp. nov. is proposed for this novel species, and the type strain is CLIP 2019/00642 (=CIP 111799=DSM 110544).
