Abstract

More than 100 isolates of a Gram-stain-negative, curved rod-shaped, so far uncultured bacterium were isolated from chicken caecal content. The strains were obligate anaerobes which formed endospores. They were catalase-positive, cytochrome-oxidase-negative and did not hydrolyse aesculin. The detected predominant metabolic end product in reinforced clostridial bedium broth was acetate. The DNA G+C content was 62.2 mol%. The cell fatty acid composition was dominated by C, C , C, C, C and C . Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences of the novel isolates showed 99 % similarity to each other. Phylogenetically they are placed in cluster IV. They exhibited 99 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to uncultured bacterial clone SJTU_C_03_83 (GenBank accession no. EF404038.1) and to three other so far uncultured strains. The closest related type strains, SW51 and WAL 14565, exhibited a 16S rRNA gene sequence divergence of at least 8 % to the newly described isolates. In addition, morphological and biochemical characteristics allowed differentiation of the novel isolates from these and other related and validly published species, including and . Therefore, a new genus, gen. nov., is proposed for the isolated hitherto unknown strains with V20-281a (=DSM 100433 =CECT 8892) as the type strain of its type species, gen. nov., sp. nov.
