Abstract

Three strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were isolated from the faeces of apparently healthy wild Canada geese () in 2010 by cultivating faecal LAB on Rogosa SL agar under aerobic conditions. These three isolates were found to share 99.9 % gene sequence similarity of their 16S rRNA, their 16S–23S intergenic transcribed spacer region (ITS), partial 23S rRNA, , , and gene sequences. However, the three strains exhibited lower levels of sequence similarity of these genetic targets to all known LAB, and the phylogenetically closest species to the geese strains were , , and . In comparison to ATCC 393, ATCC 25302, ATCC 7469 and DSM 24301, the novel isolates reacted uniquely in tests for cellobiose, galactose, mannitol, citric acid, aesculin and dextrin, and gave negative results in tests for -proline arylamidase and -pyrrolydonyl-arylamidase, and in the Voges-Proskauer test. Biochemical tests for cellobiose, aesculin, galactose, gentiobiose, mannitol, melezitose, ribose, salicin, sucrose, trehalose, raffinose, turanose, amygdalin and arbutin could be used for differentiation between and the novel strains. On the basis of phenotypic and genotypic characteristics, and phylogenetic data, the three isolates represent a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is SL1108 ( = ATCC BAA-2142 = LMG 26001 = DSM 23927) and two additional strains are SL1170 and SL60106.
