sp. nov., isolated from the faecal material of a rabbit No Access

Abstract

A facultative anaerobic, Gram-stain-negative rod-shaped bacterium, designated R, was isolated from the faecal material of a rabbit (). The strain could not be identified using an MALDI Biotyper sirius CA System. The closest matches based on the Bruker library were members of the genera and . However, the score value was in the range of no organism identification possible. Based on pairwise of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, the isolate was found to be a member of the family . The highest sequence similarities were found to the sequences of LMG 26273 (98.7 %), NBRC 102595 (98.5 %) and 090008 (98.4 %). Phylogenetic and whole genome analysis demonstrated that strain R represents a novel species within the genus . The predominant cellular fatty acids of strain R were C and products present in summed feature 2 (C) aldehyde, summed feature 3 (C ω6 and/or Cω7) and summed feature 8 (C ω7 and/or C ω6). genome analysis showed the presence of enzymes required for production of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylserine. The G+C content determined from the genome was 54.94 mol %. Based on biochemical, phylogenetic, genotypic and chemotaxonomic criteria, the isolate represents a novel species of the genus for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is strain R (=CCUG 76269=ATCC TSD-291).
