Abstract

Strain Quantibio-BCGUT is a new species from the genus Parabacteroides that was isolated from a stool sample of a 49-year-old healthy Chinese male adult. Cells are Gram-negative and obligate anerobic bacilli. Strain Quantibio-BCGUT exhibits 95.86% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Parabacteroides merdae strain JCM 9497 (NR_041343.1), the phylogenetically closely related species with standing in nomenclature. Major fatty acids are C16:0, C18:0 and C19:0-IS. Quantibio-BCGUT exhibits a high level of resistance to aztreonam. Growth occurred at pH 5.5–9.0. Optimal growth was observed at 35 °C in YCFA medium in anerobic condition, no growth occurs at 25 °C or 50 °C. Strain grows in YCFA medium in the presence of 0.1%–2.0% (w/v) NaCl (optimum 1.0%). Based on the phenotypic and phylogenetic evidence, OrthoANI values and results of the biochemical tests, the new species is named Parabacteroides pekinense sp. nov., for which strain Quantibio-BCGU T (= CGMCC = QHBCGU) is proposed as the type strain.
