sp. nov., isolated from the gut of honeybee () No Access

Abstract

A Gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic, catalase-negative, fructose-dependent strain (W13) was isolated from the gut of honeybee (). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing indicated that strain W13 represents a distinct line of descent within the genus , with the closest neighbours being BCRC 81240 (98.9 % sequence similarity) and DSM 19113 (96.8 % sequence similarity). Comparative sequencing of the additional phylogenetic markers and confirmed the 16S rRNA gene tree topology. The complete genome of strain W13 consisted of 1 292 712 bp with a G+C content of 48.3 mol%. Pairwise comparisons of the average nucleotide identity values and digital DNA–DNA hybridization values between the genomes of W13 and its close phylogenetic neighbours, BCRC 81240 and DSM 19113, resulted in 76.2–84.1 % and 20.2–27.6 %, respectively. The main cellular fatty acids of strain W13 were C, C  9 and C  7. Thus, we propose a novel species within the genus , with the name sp. nov. and the type strain is W13 (= NBRC 115637=BCRC 81365).
