sp. nov., isolated from faeces of yaks () Free

Abstract

The taxonomic position of four phenotypically closely related strains isolated from faecal samples of yaks () collected from the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau, China, was determined by a polyphasic approach. The strains were non-spore-forming, non-motile Gram-stain-positive, ovoid cocci, occurring predominantly in pairs and short chains or in irregular clusters. The 16S rRNA gene of strain MN05 was related phylogenetically to those of , , , , , , , , , and , all belonging to the species group. The sequence similarities of three selected genes of MN05 to those of the type strains of phylogenetically related species were measured, with values within the range of 99.2–99.5 % (16S rRNA gene), 90.0–97.3 % () and 80.0–85.3 % (), respectively. The genome of MN05 (3 842 361 bp) contained 4299 genes with a DNA G+C content of 37.5 mol%. A whole-genome phylogenetic tree based on 808 core genes confirmed that MN05 belongs to a distinct lineage, well separated from all recognized species of the species group. DNA–DNA hybridization showed that MN05 displayed less than 70 % DNA–DNA relatedness with the other 13 species of the species group. Moreover, their phenotypic features distinguished the four strains from the other species of the species group. Based upon these data obtained from the polyphasic characterization performed in the present study, a novel species of the genus , sp. nov., is proposed, with the type strain MN05 (=DSM 104047=CGMCC 1.15942).
