Abstract
- A novel, Gram-stain-positive, catalase-positive, non-spore-forming, short rod-shaped strain (VUL4_3T) was isolated from rectal swabs of Old World vultures (Aegypius monachus) from the Tibet–Qinghai Plateau, China. Based on the results of biochemical tests and 16S rRNA gene sequence comparison, strain VUL4_3T was determined to be a member of the genus Actinomyces that is closely related to the type strains of Actinomyces liubingyangii (97.7 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) and Actinomyces marimammalium (96.5 %). Optimal growth occurred at 37 °C, pH 6–7 and with 1 % (w/v) NaCl. The typical major cellular fatty acids of strain VUL4_3T were C18 : 1ω9c, C16 : 0 and C18 : 0. The VUL4_3T genome contained 2 207 832 bp with an average G+C content of 51.9 mol%. DNA–DNA hybridization values between strain VUL4_3T and the above two species of the genus Actinomyces showed less than 32 % DNA–DNA relatedness, supporting a novel species status of strain VUL4_3T. Based on the phenotypic data and phylogenetic inference, the novel species Actinomyces tangfeifanii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is VUL4_3T (=CGMCC 4.7369T=DSM 103436T).
