Abstract
Two strictly anaerobic, Gram-stain-negative rod-shaped bacterial isolates, A2-P53T and A1-P5, were isolated from an enrichment of fecal material from two alpacas (Vicugna pacos). Based on a comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, the isolates were assigned to the genus Bacteroides with the highest sequence similarities to Bacteroides koreensis YS-aM39T (A2- P53T 97.7 % and A1-P5 97.9 %). Additionally, the average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values between these isolates and their closest relatives within Bacteroides were less than 92.1 % and 49.1 %, respectively. The average nucleotide identity between isolates A2-P53T and A1-P5 was 99.9 %. The predominant cellular fatty acid for isolates A2-P53T and A1-P5 was C15:0 antesio. The G+C % content of the isolates was 41.7 %. Based on biochemical, phylogenetic, genotypic, and chemotaxonomic criteria, these isolates A2-P53T and A1-P5 represent two individual strains of a novel species within the genus Bacteroides for which the name Bacteroides vicugnae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of this species is strain A2-P53T (CCUG 77273T = CCM 9377T = NRRL B-65693T).
期刊介绍:
Anaerobe is essential reading for those who wish to remain at the forefront of discoveries relating to life processes of strictly anaerobes. The journal is multi-disciplinary, and provides a unique forum for those investigating anaerobic organisms that cause infections in humans and animals, as well as anaerobes that play roles in microbiomes or environmental processes.
Anaerobe publishes reviews, mini reviews, original research articles, notes and case reports. Relevant topics fall into the broad categories of anaerobes in human and animal diseases, anaerobes in the microbiome, anaerobes in the environment, diagnosis of anaerobes in clinical microbiology laboratories, molecular biology, genetics, pathogenesis, toxins and antibiotic susceptibility of anaerobic bacteria.
