Abstract

Thirty-three suspected strains of the family isolated from the oral cavity of polar and brown bears were characterized by genotypic and phenotypic tests. Phylogenetic analysis of partial 16S rRNA gene and sequences showed that the investigated isolates formed two closely related monophyletic groups, representing two novel species of a new genus. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence comparison was the closest related species with a validly published name, with 95.4 % similarity to the polar bear group and 94.4 % similarity to the brown bear group. was the closest related species based on sequence comparison with a similarity of 89.8 % with the polar bear group and 90 % with the brown bear group. The new genus could be separated from existing genera of the family by three to ten phenotypic characters, and the two novel species could be separated from each other by two phenotypic characters. It is proposed that the strains should be classified as representatives of a new genus, gen. nov., with two novel species: the type species sp. nov., isolated from polar bears (type strain Pb43106 = CCUG 65144 = DSM 28137, DNA G+C content 39.3 mol%), and sp. nov., isolated from brown bears (type strain Bamse61 = CCUG 65145 = DSM 28138).
