sp. nov., isolated from faeces from a healthy human.

An obligately anaerobic, Gram-stain-positive, non-motile and coccoid- or oval-shaped bacterium, designated strain KGMB01111, was isolated from faeces from a healthy Korean. Comparative analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that KGMB01111 was closely related to CCRI-16110 (93.9 %) and GAM6-1 (93.7 %), followed by DSM 1787 (93.5 %), ATCC 27340 (93.4 %), DSM 10507 (93.1 %) and ATCC 29236 (93.1 %) within the family ( rRNA cluster XIVa). Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that KGMB01111 formed a separate branch with species in the genus . The major cellular fatty acids (>10.0 %) were C and C 9 dimethyl acetal (DMA), and the major polar lipids were aminophospholipids and lipids. KGMB01111 contained diaminopimelic acid in cell-wall peptidoglycan. The predominant end product of fermentation produced by KGMB01111 was acetic acid. Based on the whole-genome sequence, the DNA G+C content of the isolate was 44.7 mol%. On the basis of the phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic characteristics, KGMB01111 represents a novel species within the genus for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is KGMB01111 (=KCTC 15706=DSM 107827).
