Abstract

A single strain, NR06T, was isolated from the intestine of a TNFdeltaARE mouse. Based on phylogenetic analysis of partial 16S rRNA gene sequences, strain NR06T belongs in the family Coriobacteriaceae within the Actinobacteria. The most closely related species with validly published names are members of the genera Adlercreutzia, Asaccharobacter and Enterorhabdus (<96% sequence similarity). Strain NR06T was characterized by a high prevalence of monomethylmenaquinone-6 (MMK-6; 76 %) and the presence of meso-diaminopimelic acid in the cell wall. One of the major cellular fatty acids of strain NR06T was C15: 0 ISO. Glucose was detected as a whole cell sugar. Strain NR06T was resistant to the antibiotic colistin and was positive for arginine and leucine arylamidase activity. Based on these characteristics, strain NR06T differed from related described bacteria. Therefore, the name Parvibacter caecicola gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed to accommodate the novel bacterium. The type strain of the type species is NR06T (=DSM 22242T=CCUG 57646T).
