T. auteur aut IRD text journalArticle eng text/pdf born digital access Using the culturomics approach, the previously unknown strain Marseille-P8953(T), was isolated and classified within the Weizmannia genus. Strain Marseille-P8953(T) was isolated from the faeces of a healthy subject and consisted of Gram-stain positive, spore-forming, motile rod-shaped cells. A 99.2% similarity was observed between the 16S rRNA gene of strain Marseille-P8953(T) (accession number LR735539) and that of Weizmannia coagulans strain NBRC 12583(T) (accession number KX261624), its closest phylogenetic relative, while the genome of strain Marseille-P8953(T) (3.5 Mpb long, 46.5% GC content) shared the average nucleotide identity by Orthology and digital DNA-DNA Hybridisation values of 95 and 60.4%, respectively. Given the phylogenetic classification and phenotypic characteristics of strain Marseille-P8953(T), we propose the creation of a new species within the Weizmannia genus named Weizmannia faecalis (= CSUR P8953(T) = CECT 9904( T)). specialized Weizmannia faecalis sp nov Culturomics Gut microbiota New species Taxono-genomics 084 054 204 10 612 [9 ] 2022 0302-8933 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010086047 10.1007/s00203-022-03229-6 0302-8933 [F B010086047] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010086047 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2022-10/010086047.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2022-10-07 2025-02-24 fdi:010086047 fre
