Strains of the recently proposed species Bacteroides chinchillae share more than 99.4 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with the type strain of Bacteroides sartorii although these two species do not appear to be similar from their published descriptions. The aim of this study was to perform phenotypic and genetic analyses of both species to clarify their taxonomic position. B. chinchillae JCM 16497(T) exhibited high hsp60 gene sequence similarity with B. sartorii JCM 17136(T) (100 %) as well as B. chinchillae JCM 16498 (100 %). The hsp60 gene sequence analysis and levels of DNA-DNA relatedness observed demonstrated B. sartorii JCM 17136(T), B. chinchillae JCM 16497(T), and B. chinchillae JCM 16498 are members of a single species. Based on these data, we propose Bacteroides chinchillae as a later heterotypic synonym of Bacteroides sartorii. An emended description of B. sartorii is provided.
最近提出的种拟杆菌 chinchillae 与拟杆菌 sartorii 的模式株的 16S rRNA 基因序列相似度超过 99.4%,尽管这两个种从已发表的描述来看似乎并不相似。本研究的目的是对这两个种进行表型和遗传分析,以澄清它们的分类地位。Bacteroides chinchillae JCM 16497(T)与 Bacteroides sartorii JCM 17136(T)(100%)以及 Bacteroides chinchillae JCM 16498 具有高度的 hsp60 基因序列相似性。hsp60 基因序列分析和观察到的 DNA-DNA 同源性水平表明,Bacteroides sartorii JCM 17136(T)、Bacteroides chinchillae JCM 16497(T)和 Bacteroides chinchillae JCM 16498 是一个种的成员。基于这些数据,我们建议将拟杆菌 chinchillae 作为拟杆菌 sartorii 的一个后来的异型同义词。提供了对拟杆菌 sartorii 的修订描述。
