A Gram-stain-positive, facultatively anaerobic, short rod-shaped, oxidase-negative and non-motile novel strain, designated YIM 101505T, was isolated from the faeces of a primate, Assamese macaque, and was studied to determine its taxonomic position. The cell wall contained meso-diaminopimelic acid and short-chain mycolic acids. Whole cell sugars were mannose, galactose and arabinose as major components. The major fatty acids (>10 %) were C18 : 1 ω9c, C16 : 0 and C17 : 1 ω8c and the major menaquinone was MK-9(H2). The polar lipids included diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol mannoside, glycolipid and six unidentified lipids. The new isolate shared most of the typical chemotaxonomic characteristics of members of the genus Corynebacterium . The closest related species was Corynebacterium efficiens based on 16S rRNA gene (98.1 % similarity) and partial rpoB gene (91.4 % similarity) sequences. Similarities with other species of this genus were below 97 % based on the 16S rRNA gene. The DNA–DNA hybridization value between YIM 101505T and C. efficiens DSM 44549T was 47.7±3.6 %. Moreover, the physiological and biochemical characteristics of YIM 101505T and C. efficiens DSM 44549T were different. Thus, strain YIM 101505T is considered to represent a novel member of the genus Corynebacterium , for which the name Corynebacterium faecale sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YIM 101505T (=DSM 45971T=CCTCC AB 2013226T).
-
The GenBank/EMBL/DDJB accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain YIM 101505T is KT216265 and for the partial rpoB gene is KT756667.
