RESUMEN
Parabacteroides massiliensis sp. nov., strain Marseille-P2231T (= CSURP2231 = DSM 101860) is a new species within the family Tannerellaceae. It was isolated from a stool specimen of a 25-year-old healthy woman. Its genome was 5 013 798 bp long with a 45.7 mol% G+C content. The closest species based on 16S rRNA sequence was Parabacteroides merdae strain JCM 9497T with 98.19% sequence similarity. Considering phenotypic features and comparative genome studies, we proposed the strain Marseille-P2231T as the type strain of Parabacteroides massiliensis sp. nov., a new species within the genus Parabacteroides.
RESUMEN
Culturomics is a concept developing different culture conditions in order to enlarge our knowledge of the human microbiota through the discovery of previously uncultured bacteria. This enabled us to isolate six new species of the Bacteroides genus: Bacteroides mediterraneensis strain Marseille-P2644, Bacteroides ihuae strain Marseille-P2824, Bacteroides togonis strain Marseille-P3166, Bacteroides ndongoniae strain Marseille-P3108, Bacteroides ilei strain Marseille-P3208 and Bacteroides congonensis strain Marseille-P3132. Those bacteria are Gram-negative anaerobic bacilli. We describe here their phenotypic features, together with phylogenetic analysis, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry spectrum, fatty acid composition, and genome sequencing and annotation.
RESUMEN
We present the main features of 'Bacteroides ihuae' sp. nov., strain Marseille-P2824T (CSUR P2824), isolated from the sputum of healthy Frenchwoman living in Marseille.
