Abstract

Two bacterial strains isolated from chicken caecum, C46 and C47, were characterized using a polyphasic taxonomic approach that included analysis of the phenotypic and biochemical features, cellular fatty acid profiles, menaquinone profiles and phylogenetic position (using 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis). The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that these strains belonged to the family . These strains shared 100 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with each other and were related to (showing 86 % sequence similarity). The strains were found to be obligately anaerobic, non-pigmented, non-spore-forming, non-motile, Gram-negative rods. Growth of the strains was inhibited on medium containing 20 % bile. The major menaquinones of the isolates were MK-11 and MK-12. This menaquinone composition was different from those of other genera of the family , such as (in which the predominant menaquinones are MK-9 and MK-10), (MK-9 and MK-10) and (MK-10 and MK-11). This is an important chemotaxonomic characteristic of these micro-organisms. The DNA G+C content of strain C46 is 52.0 mol%. On the basis of these data, strains C46 and C47 represent a novel genus and species, for which the name gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of is C46 (=JCM 13660=DSM 18177).
