sp. nov. and sp. nov., isolated from larvae of No Access

Abstract

The taxonomic positions of two novel strains isolated from larvae of an insect () collected in Jeju, Republic of Korea, were determined by a polyphasic approach. Strain BWB3-3 was closely related to the type strain of , having 97.2 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, whereas strain BWM-S5 formed an independent cluster within the genus in the 16S rRNA gene phylogeny and the closest relative was the type strain of (98.1 % sequence similarity). The core gene analysis supported the phylogenetic positions of the isolates revealed by 16S rRNA gene phylogeny. The average nucleotide identity (ANI) and digital DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH) values between strain BWB3-3 and the type strain of were 73.2 and 20.0 %, respectively, whereas strain BWM-S5 showed an ANI value of 70.9 % with the type strain of . The dDDH values between strain BWM-S5 and all the type strains of species were ≤25.1 %. On the basis of the results obtained here, the two isolates are considered to constitute two novel species of the family , for which the names sp. nov. and sp. nov. are proposed, with the type strains BWB3-3 (=KCTC 43277=CCM 9080) and BWM-S5 (=KACC 22156=CCM 9075), respectively.
