sp. nov., a novel species isolated from the wild ferment of a durian fruit () No Access

Abstract

A Gram-stain-positive, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming, catalase-negative, urease-negative, homofermentative and facultatively anaerobic strain, named WILCCON 0076, was isolated from a wild ferment of pieces of a ‘Kampung’ durian fruit collected on the island of Ubin (Pulau Ubin), Singapore. The durian had fallen to the ground from a durian tree (), on which a group of long-tailed macaques had been observed picking and eating the fruits. Comparative analyses of 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that WILCCON 0076 potentially represented a novel species within the genus , with the most closely related type strain being DSM 20509 (16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 97.2 %). Average nucleotide identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridization prediction values were only 86.0% and 18.9 %, respectively. On the basis of the results of a polyphasic approach that included phylogenomic, chemotaxonomic and morphological analyses, we propose a novel species with the name sp. nov. (type strain WILCCON 0076=DSM 114293=LMG 32698).
