Abstract
Isolates of Leptospira spp. were cultured from water sources at five different sites in central Iowa in the Midwestern United States and characterized by whole-genome sequencing. Isolates were helix-shaped and motile. Genome sequence analyses determined that the isolates could be clearly distinguished from other species described in the genus Leptospira and included one species that belonged to the pathogen subclade P1, one species that belonged to the pathogen subclade P2 and three species that belonged to the saprophyte subclade S1. The names Leptospira gorisiae sp. nov. (type strain WS92.C1T=NVSL-WS92.C1T=KIT0303T), Leptospira cinconiae sp. nov. (type strain WS58.C1T=NVSL-WS58.C1T=KIT0304T), Leptospira mgodei sp. nov. (type strain WS4.C2T=NVSL.WS4.C2T=KIT0305T), Leptospira iowaensis sp. nov. (type strain WS39.C2T=NVSL-WS39.C2T=KIT0306T) and Leptospira milleri sp. nov. (type strain WS60.C2T=NVSL-WS60.C2T=KIT0307T) are proposed.
期刊介绍:
Published by the Microbiology Society and owned by the International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes (ICSP), a committee of the Bacteriology and Applied Microbiology Division of the International Union of Microbiological Societies, International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology is the leading forum for the publication of novel microbial taxa and the ICSP’s official journal of record for prokaryotic names.
The journal welcomes high-quality research on all aspects of microbial evolution, phylogenetics and systematics, encouraging submissions on all prokaryotes, yeasts, microfungi, protozoa and microalgae across the full breadth of systematics including:
Identification, characterisation and culture preservation
Microbial evolution and biodiversity
Molecular environmental work with strong taxonomic or evolutionary content
Nomenclature
Taxonomy and phylogenetics.
