AI Article Synopsis
- Bacterial strain Marseille-P3954 was isolated from a stool sample of a 35-year-old male patient in France and is characterized as a gram-positive, rod-shaped, anaerobic, non-motile, and non-spore-forming bacterium.
- Its genome has 2,422,126 base pairs with a G+C content of 60.8 mol%, and C and C are identified as its major fatty acids.
- Phylogenetic analysis reveals that it shares only 85.51% similarity with Christensenella minuta, indicating it belongs to a new genus and species, proposed as Maliibacterium massiliense, with Marseille-P3954 designated as its type strain.
Article Abstract
Bacterial strain Marseille-P3954 was isolated from a stool sample of a 35-year-old male patient living in France. It was a gram-positive, rod-shaped anaerobic, non-motile, and non-spore-forming bacterium. C and C were the major fatty acid, while its genome measured 2,422,126 bp with 60.8 mol% of G+C content. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that strain Marseille-P3954 had 85.51% of similarity with Christensenella minuta, its closest related species with standing in nomenclature. As this value is very low compared to the recommended threshold, it suggested that the Marseille-P3954 strain belongs to a new bacterial genus, classified in a new family. On the basis of these genomic, phenotypic, and phylogenetic evidences, we propose that strain Marseille-P3954 should be classified as a new genus and species, Maliibacterium massiliense gen. nov., sp. nov. The type strain of M. massiliense sp. nov. is Marseille-P3954 (CSUR P3954 = CECT 9568).
