Abstract
A strain of the recently validated species Faecalibacterium hominis shares 99.0 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with the type strain of Faecalibacterium duncaniae . The aim of this study was to evaluate the taxonomic relationship between F. hominis and F. duncaniae. F. duncaniae JCM 31915T showed 73.0 % digital DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH) value with F. hominis JCM 39347T. The average nucleotide identity (ANI) value between these two strains was 96.7 %. These results indicate that F. duncaniae JCM 31915T and F. hominis JCM 39347T represent members of the same species. Based on these data, we propose Faecalibacterium hominis as a later heterotypic synonym of Faecalibacterium duncaniae . An emended description is provided.
