ABSTRACT
Two Gram-stain positive, aerobic, short-rod-shaped, catalase-positive, oxidase-negative and non-motile strains, designated YIM 101343T and YIM 101645T, were isolated from faeces of Hylobates hoolock and Lemur catta, respectively. The results of 16S rRNA gene analysis indicated that both represented members of the genus Corynebacterium, and they shared a similarity of 98.0â% with each other. Corynebacterium marinum DSM 44953T showed the highest similarity with both strains YIM 101343T (99.0â%) and YIM 101645T (97.3â%). The results of phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene indicated that strain YIM 101343T formed a cluster with C. marinum DSM 44953T and Corynebacterium comes 2019T, strain YIM 101645T formed a cluster with Corynebacterium halotolerans YIM 70093T, and the two clusters were neighbours. The genomic size of strain YIM 101343T was 3068751 bp and that of strain YIM 101645T was 3169714 bp. The dDDH, ANI and AAI values among strains YIM 101343T, YIM 101645T and the closely related species indicated that the two isolates represented two different novel species. Both strains contained meso-diaminopimelic acid and short-chain mycolic acids, and the major menaquinones were MK-9(H2) and MK-8(H2). The major polar lipids of the two strains were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylinositol mannoside. The major fatty acids (>10â%) of both strains were C16ââ0, summed feature 4 and C18ââ1ω9c, but C17ââ1 ω8c was only present as a major component in YIM 101645T . In addition, phenotypic and some chemotaxonomic characteristics of strains YIM 101343T, YIM 101645T and the closely related species were different. Thus, strains YIM 101343T and YIM 101645T should represent two novel species of the genus Corynebacterium, for which the names Corynebacterium hylobatis sp. nov. and Corynebacterium lemuris sp. nov. are proposed, respectively. The type strains are YIM 101343T (=DSM 45970T=CCTCC AB 2013221T) and YIM 101645T (=BCRC 16963T=CCTCC AB 2013281T=KCTC 39868T).
