<i>Faecalibacterium taiwanense</i> sp. nov., isolated from human faeces.

ABSTRACT: Two Gram-stain-negative, straight rods, non-motile, asporogenous, catalase-negative and obligately anaerobic butyrate-producing strains, HLW78^T and CYL33, were isolated from faecal samples of two healthy Taiwanese adults. Phylogenetic analyses of 16S rRNA and DNA mismatch repair protein MutL (mutL) gene sequences revealed that these two novel strains belonged to the genus Faecalibacterium. On the basis of 16S rRNA and mutL gene sequence similarities, the type strains Faecalibacterium butyricigenerans AF52-21^T(98.3-98.1 % and 79.0-79.5 % similarity), Faecalibacterium duncaniae A2-165^T(97.8-97.9 % and 70.9-80.1 %), Faecalibacterium hattorii APC922/41-1^T(97.1-97.3 % and 80.3-80.5 %), Faecalibacterium long
