Peptostreptococcus equinus sp. nov., isolated from horse faeces.
International journal of systematic and evolutionary microbiology(2024)
Abstract
A Gram-stain-positive, non-spore-forming, and obligate anaerobic bacteria designated strain CBA3647T was isolated from a horse faecal sample in Jeju, Republic of Korea. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain CBA3647T formed a distinct phyletic lineage from closely related species within the genus Peptostreptococcus. Based on comparative analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences, Peptostreptococcus anaerobius ATCC 27337T is most closely related to strain CBA3647T with a 16S rRNA gene similarity of 98.31 %, while similarity to other type strains is below 98.0 %. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain CBA3647T was 30.0 mol%. The digital DNA-DNA hybridization values between strain CBA3647T and the six Peptostreptococcus species were equal to or less than 24 %. Cells were non-motile and oval-shaped cocci with catalase-positive and oxidase-negative activities. Growth occurred at 20-40 °C (optimum, 35 °C), pH 6-8 (optimum, pH 7), and in the presence of 0-2 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 1 %). Strain CBA3647T contained C14 : 0 iso and C16 : 0 as major fatty acids. Phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, and molecular properties of strain CBA3647T suggest that it represents a novel species in the genus Peptostreptococcus, which has been named Peptostreptococcus equinus sp. nov. The type strain is CBA3647T (=KACC 22891T= JCM 35846T).
