Abstract

Two Gramstaining-positive, catalase-negative, -hemolytic, coccus-shaped organisms were isolated separately from the respiratory tracts of two animals from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, PR China. Morphological, biological, biochemical, and molecular genetic studies were performed on these two isolates (HTS9 and HTS12). Their biochemical characteristics, such as acid production from different sugars and enzymatic activities, indicated that they represented a member of the genus . They are most closely related to CIP 105518 based on sequence analysis of their 16S rRNA, , and genes, with similarities of 97.6, 89.9, 92.6 and 91.1 % the four genes respectively. The whole genome phylogenetic tree reconstructed using 372 core genes from 65 genomes of members of the genus validates that HTS9 forms a distinct subline and exhibits specific phylogenetic affinity with DNA–DNA hybridization of HTS9 showed a DNA reassociation value of 32.1 %, closest to that of CIP 105518. Based on their phenotypic characteristics and in particular the phylogenetic findings (DNA–DNA hybridization, three phylogenetic trees built from the partial 16S rRNA/housekeeping genes, and from 372 core genes of 65 genomes of members of the genus ), we propose with confidence that strains HTS9 and HTS12 should be classified as representing a novel species of the genus , sp. nov. The type strain is HTS9 (=DSM 101996=CGMCC1.15532). Genome analysis of sp. nov. shows that its genome is 1 823 556 bp long with a DNA G+C content of 39.9 mol% and contains 2068 genes.
