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

Abstract

Two novel bifidobacteria (designated F806-1 and F814-1.1) isolated from the gut of honeybee () were characterized in the present study. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strains F806-1 and F814-1.1 belonged to the group and were most closely related to W8102 and W8117, having 98.9–99.4% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities. Strains F806-1 and F814-1.1 had the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities (99.1 and 99.4 %) with W8117. Strains F806-1 and F814-1.1 had 73.2–90.5% average nucleotide identity, 21.5–40.8% digital DNA–DNA hybridization and 67.4–92.5% average amino acid identity values with type strains of all species in the group. Acid production from -arabinose, -arabinose, -xylose, -xylose, -galactose, -fructose, -mannose and methyl--glucopyranoside; tolerance to 3% NaCl and activity of cystine arylamidase, -acetyl--glucosaminidase, -mannosidase and -fucosidase could differentiate strains F806-1 and F814-1.1 from the type strain of . Based on the data obtained in the present study, a novel species, sp. nov., is proposed, and the type strain is F806-1 (=CCTCC AB 2024129=JCM 37002).
