RESUMO
Strains Marseille-P2265T (=CSUR P2265T =DSM 102082 T) and Marseille-P3890T (=CSUR P3890T =CCUG 72341 T) were isolated from stool samples using the culturomics approach. The 16S rRNA gene sequences of both strains were sequenced and compared by BLASTn to the NCBI database. Strains Marseille-P2265T and Marseille-P3890T were most closely related to Acutalibacter muris with identities of 94.3% and 91.5%, respectively. Between the two strains, the 16S rRNA gene sequence identity was 91.5%. Both strains are anaerobic Gram-positive, oxidase- and catalase-negative. The major fatty acid methyl esters (> 10%) in both strains are C16:0 and anteiso-C15:0. Additionally, strain Marseille-P2265T has iso-C15:0 and C14:0, and strain Marseille-P3890T, iso-C14:0. Strain Marseille-P2265T has a genome size of 3,671,396-bp with a G + C content of 52.8%. As for strain Marseille-P3890T, the genome is 2,702,024-bp-long with a 39.8% G + C content. The genomic comparison of closely related species with strains Marseille-P2265T and Marseille-P3890T showed that all digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH), orthologous average nucleotide identity (OrthoANI) and average amino acid identity (AAI) values were lower than the published species thresholds (70% for dDDH, 95-96% for OrthoANI/AAI). Based on these results, it was concluded that strains Marseille-P2265T and Marseille-P3890T belong to two new genera in the family Oscillospiraceae. For these two genera, the names Neglectibacter gen. nov. and Scatolibacter gen. nov. were proposed, with strains Marseille-P2265T and Marseille-P3890T being the type strains of Neglectibacter timonensis gen. nov., sp. nov. and Scatolibacter rhodanostii gen. nov., sp. nov., respectively.
