Abstract

The phylogenetic position and phenotypic characteristics of two non-spore-forming bacilli similar to members of the genus were studied. The Gram-reaction-positive, slightly motile, facultatively anaerobic strains were isolated from the water plant sampled from a freshwater pond in Bavaria, Germany. Although no identification was possible employing the API test (bioMérieux), 16S rRNA sequence analysis confirmed a close phylogenetic similarity to DSM 22097 (99.0 % sequence similarity) and a more distant relationship to other species (96.0 % to DSM 20600 and 95.0 % similarity to DSM 20601). DNA–DNA hybridization analysis between the isolates and DSM 22097 yielded a similarity of 22.5 %. Analysis of partial sequences of , , and HSP60 were studied and compared with those of other members of the genus and DSM 20171 supporting the relationships indicated by 16S rRNA gene sequences. The studied isolates were non-haemolytic and were not associated with cases of human or animal disease. While the results demonstrate that the strains belong to the genus , phenotypic and genotypic differences from DSM 22097 suggest that the strains represent a novel species for which the name sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is WS 4560 ( = DSM 24698 = LMG 26374), with WS 4615 ( = DSM 24699 = LMG 26375) as a second strain of the species.
