sp. nov. and sp. nov., from fluid in a pitcher cup and a butterfly () in Thailand No Access

Abstract

Two novel Gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped, non-motile bacteria, strains TBRC 10068 and TBRC 16381, were isolated from a fluid sample from a close-pitcher cup () and an insect sample (), respectively. Comparing the 16S rRNA gene sequences with those found in EzBioCloud’s publicly available databases revealed that the two strains exhibited a close genetic relationship with A911; the calculated sequence similarities were 98.56 and 97.70  %, respectively. The average nucleotide identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridization values of the two strains, as well as those of their closely related type strains, were found to be lower than the species demarcation threshold of 95 and 70 %, respectively. The phylogenomic analysis of strains TBRC 10068 and TBRC 16381 showed that they belong to the genus . However, they formed distinct lineages separate from all other strains of r by use of 81 bacterial core genes. In addition, the comparative genomic analysis revealed that the core orthologues of strains TBRC 10068 and TBRC 16381, compared to the closely related type strains of species, had distinct genetic profiles. Strain TBRC 10068 contained 163 unique genes, whereas strain TBRC 16381 contained 83. The three species possessed Q-9 as the primary isoprenoid quinone homologue. The results of a polyphasic taxonomic investigation indicated that strains TBRC 10068 and TBRC 16381 represent two separate new species within the genus . The species were designated as sp. nov. with the type strain TBRC 10068 (=KCTC 92798) and sp. nov. with the type strain TBRC 16381 (=KCTC 92799).
