Parabacteroideschinchillae sp. nov., isolated from chinchilla (Chincilla lanigera) faeces Kitahara, Maki and Sakamoto, Mitsuo and Tsuchida, Sayaka and Kawasumi, Koh and Amao, Hiromi and Benno, Yoshimi and Ohkuma, Moriya,, 63, 3470-3474 (2013), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.050146-0, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= Strains of Gram-stain-negative, anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria were isolated from chinchilla (Chinchilla lanigera) faeces, and strain ST166T was investigated taxonomically. Phylogenetic analyses of 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain ST166T belonged to the genus Parabacteroides . Strain ST166T formed a distinct line of descent, and the highest sequence similarity to ST166T was found with Parabacteroides merdae JCM 9497T (95.6 %) and Parabacteroides johnsonii JCM 13406T (95.0 %). Analysis of hsp60 gene sequences also supported these relationships. Based on the phenotypic and phylogenetic characteristics, the novel species Parabacteroides chinchillae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of P. chinchillae sp. nov. is ST166T ( = JCM 17104T = CCUG 62154T)., language=, type=
