sp. nov. and sp. nov., isolated from raw meat Free

Abstract

The taxonomic status of six strains of obtained from meat samples, collected from supermarkets in Porto, Portugal, was investigated using polyphasic analysis. Partial sequence similarities lower than 95 % to other species with validly published names led to the hypothesis that these strains represented novel species. This was confirmed based on comparative multilocus sequence analysis, which included the , and 16S rRNA genes, revealing that these strains represented two coherent lineages that were distinct from each other and from all known species. The names sp. nov. (comprising four strains) and sp. nov. (comprising two strains) are proposed for these novel species. The species status of these two groups was confirmed by low (below 95 %) whole-genome sequence average nucleotide identity values and low (below 70 %) digital DNA–DNA hybridization similarities between the whole-genome sequences of the proposed type strains of each novel species and the representatives of the known species. Phylogenomic treeing from core genome analysis supported these results. The coherence of each new species lineage was supported by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry differentiation of the species at the protein level, by cellular fatty acid profiles, and by unique and differential combinations of metabolic and physiological properties shared by each novel species. The type strain of sp. nov. is AC 877 (=CCUG 68672=CCM 8789) and the type strain of sp. nov. is AC 1271 (=CCUG 68674=CCM 8791).
