Morphological, biochemical and molecular genetic studies were carried out on an unknown non-spore-forming, Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium that was isolated from dog faeces. The bacterium grew under strictly anaerobic conditions, was asaccharolytic, and possessed a relatively high G + C content of 61 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on comparative 16S rRNA gene sequencing showed that the unidentified bacterium was a member of the family Coriobacteriaceae and represents a hitherto unknown subline within the genus Slackia. Based on the presented findings, a novel species, Slackia faecicanis sp. nov., is described. The type strain of Slackia faecicanis is 5WC12(T) (= CCUG 48399(T) = CIP 108281(T)).
对从犬粪便中分离出的一种未知的无芽孢、革兰氏阳性、杆状细菌进行了形态学、生物化学和分子遗传学研究。该细菌在严格厌氧条件下生长,不分解糖类,且G+C含量相对较高,为61mol%。基于比较16S rRNA基因测序的系统发育分析表明,该未鉴定细菌是科里杆菌科的成员,代表Slackia属内一个迄今未知的亚系。根据所呈现的研究结果,描述了一个新物种,即犬粪便Slackia菌(Slackia faecicanis sp. nov.)。犬粪便Slackia菌的模式菌株为5WC12(T)(=CCUG 48399(T)=CIP 108281(T))。
