sp. nov., isolated from the human oral cavity Free

Abstract

Two anaerobic, pigmented, non-spore-forming, Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped strains isolated from the human oral cavity, OMA31 and OMA130, were characterized by determining their phenotypic and biochemical features, cellular fatty acid profiles and phylogenetic positions based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that the new isolates belonged to a single species of the genus . The two isolates showed 100 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with each other and were most closely related to ATCC 25611 with 96.4 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity; the next most closely related strains to the isolates were AHN 10371 (96.1 %) and JCM 15124 (95.3 %). Phenotypic and biochemical characteristics of the isolates were the same as those of JCM 12248, JCM 15124 and JCM 12250. The isolates could be differentiated from JCM 11140 by mannose fermentation and -fucosidase activity. Conventional biochemical tests were unable to differentiate the new isolates from , and . However, gene sequence analysis suggested that strain OMA31 was not a representative of , , or . Based on these data, a novel species of the genus , sp. nov., is proposed, with OMA31 (=JCM 15754=CCUG 57723) as the type strain.
