Abstract
Using the taxono-genomics concept, we describe here a strictly anaerobic Gram-positive bacillus. This strain was isolated from the stool sample of a 50-year-old healthy Bedouin woman. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and the whole-genome sequencing showed that this isolate belonged to the genus Gordonibacter in the family Eggerthellaceae. Based on these criteria, we propose the creation of Gordonibacter massiliensis sp. nov., strain Marseille-P2775T (= CSUR P2775).
Highlights
Members of the genus Gordonibacter are Gram-positive bacteria belonging to the recent family Eggerthellaceae [1]
The strain was isolated in 2016 from the stool sample of a 50year-old healthy Bedouin woman living in the Jazan region of Saudi Arabia
When G. massiliensis strain Marseille-P2775T was compared with these closely related species, we found values ranging from 70.94% with Slackia heliotrinireducens strain DSM 20476 to 85.69% with G. pamelaeae strain DSM 19378 (Fig. 4)
Summary
Members of the genus Gordonibacter are Gram-positive bacteria belonging to the recent family Eggerthellaceae [1]. We give details of the isolation and taxono-genomics characters of strain Marseille-P2775T, which is the type strain of Gordonibacter massiliensis sp. This new bacterial species was described using a combination of genotypic and phenotypic characteristics according to the previously reported taxono-genomics approach [8,9]. Isolation and growth conditions of strain were performed as previously described [10].
