On the basis of partial 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain B7T was a member of the class Actinobacteria, family Coriobacteriaceae, and was related closely to Enterorhabdus mucosicola Mt1B8T (97.6 %). The major fatty acid of strain B7T was C16 : 0 (19.1 %) and the respiratory quinones were mono- and dimethylated. Cells were aerotolerant, but grew only under anoxic conditions. Strain B7T did not convert the isoflavone daidzein and was resistant to cefotaxime. The results of DNA–DNA hybridization experiments and additional physiological and biochemical tests allowed the genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of strain B7T from the type strain of E. mucosicola. Therefore, strain B7T represents a novel species, for which the name Enterorhabdus caecimuris sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is B7T (=DSM 21839T =CCUG 56815T).", }
