Abstract

Strains 97/79 and A121, recovered respectively from human faeces and well water, were compared to currently known species of the genus using genotypic and phenotypic approaches. Multilocus sequence analysis based on housekeeping genes , , and , showed that the two strains formed a distinct phylogenetic lineage within the genus . Average nucleotide identity (ANI) between strains 97/79 and A121 was 99.2 %, whereas ANI values of strain 97/79 with the type strains of closely related species of the genus , , , were all below 93.0 %. The ability to metabolize different compounds also discriminated strains 97/79 and A121 from other species of the genus . Based on these results, strains 97/79 and A121 represent a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed, with strain 97/79 (=CIP 106467=DSM 103031) as the type strain. The DNA G+C content of strain 97/79 is 52.0 %.
