ABSTRACT
A novel bacterial strain, CBA7301T, was isolated from human faeces and was characterised using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. A phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that CBA7301T represented a member of the genus Bacteroides, in the family Bacteroidaceae. The similarity between the 16S rRNA gene sequence of CBA7301T and that of its most closely related species, Bacteroides faecichinchillae JCM 17102T, was 96.2â%, and the average nucleotide identity between these two strains was 77.9â%. The genome size was 6â782â182 bp, and the DNA G+C content was 42.5 mol%. Cells of CBA7301T were Gram-stain-negative, strictly anaerobic and rod-shaped. The optimal growth of this organism occurred at 30-35 °C, pH 7.0 and 0.5â% (w/v) NaCl. The respiratory quinone was menaquinone 10. The predominant polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, phospholipids and aminophospholipids. The major cellular fatty acid was anteiso-C15ââ0. According to the results of the polyphasic taxonomic analysis, CBA7301T represents a novel species of the genus Bacteroides, which we named Bacteroides faecium sp. nov. The type strain is CBA7301T (=KCCM 43355T=ATCC TSD-227T).
