Project description:A total of 27 Listeria isolates that could not be classified to the species level were obtained from soil samples from different locations in the contiguous United States and an agricultural water sample from New York. Whole-genome sequence-based average nucleotide identity blast (ANIb) showed that the 27 isolates form five distinct clusters; for each cluster, all draft genomes showed ANI values of <95 % similarity to each other and any currently described Listeria species, indicating that each cluster represents a novel species. Of the five novel species, three cluster with the Listeria sensu stricto clade and two cluster with sensu lato. One of the novel sensu stricto species, designated L. cossartiae sp. nov., contains two subclusters with an average ANI similarity of 94.9%, which were designated as subspecies. The proposed three novel sensu stricto species (including two subspecies) are Listeria farberi sp. nov. (type strain FSL L7-0091T=CCUG 74668T=LMG 31917T; maximum ANI 91.9 % to L. innocua), Listeria immobilis sp. nov. (type strain FSL L7-1519T=CCUG 74666T=LMG 31920T; maximum ANI 87.4 % to L. ivanovii subsp. londoniensis) and Listeria cossartiae sp. nov. [subsp. cossartiae (type strain FSL L7-1447T=CCUG 74667T=LMG 31919T; maximum ANI 93.4 % to L. marthii) and subsp. cayugensis (type strain FSL L7-0993T=CCUG 74670T=LMG 31918T; maximum ANI 94.7 % to L. marthii). The two proposed novel sensu lato species are Listeria portnoyi sp. nov. (type strain FSL L7-1582T=CCUG 74671T=LMG 31921T; maximum ANI value of 88.9 % to L. cornellensis and 89.2 % to L. newyorkensis) and Listeria rustica sp. nov. (type strain FSL W9-0585T=CCUG 74665T=LMG 31922T; maximum ANI value of 88.7 % to L. cornellensis and 88.9 % to L. newyorkensis). L. immobilis is the first sensu stricto species isolated to date that is non-motile. All five of the novel species are non-haemolytic and negative for phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C activity; the draft genomes lack the virulence genes found in Listeria pathogenicity island 1 (LIPI-1), and the internalin genes inlA and inlB, indicating that they are non-pathogenic.

Project description:Four Gram-stain-negative bacterial strains, CS20T, AUT15.5T, XENO-11T, and CCN3.3T, isolated from Steinernema entomopathogenic nematodes, were found to represent novel species within the genus Xenorhabdus (Gammaproteobacteria, Morganellaceae). In this study, we described these new species using whole-genome phylogenomic reconstructions, sequence identity values from core genome sequences, and phenotypic characterization. Phylogenetic reconstructions based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that: (i) strain CS20T is closely related to X. stockiae DSM 17904T, (ii) strain AUT15.5T is closely related to X. budapestensis DSM 16342T, (iii) strain XENO-11T is closely related to X. khoisanae DSM 25463T, and (iv) strain CCN3.3T is closely related to X. griffiniae DSM 17911T. The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity value between strain CS20T and X. stockiae DSM 17904T is 97.8%, between strain AUT15.5T and X. budapestensis DSM 16342T is 98.1%, between strain XENO-11T and X. khoisanae DSM 25463T is 97.8%, and between strain CCN3.3T and X. griffiniae DSM 17911T is 98.6%. Phylogenomic reconstructions using whole-genome sequences showed that: (i) strain CS20T is closely related to X. stockiae DSM 17904T and X. innexi DSM 16336T, (ii) strain AUT15.5T is closely related to X. indica DSM 17382T, (iii) strain XENO-11T is closely related to X. khoisanae DSM 25463T, and (iv) strain CCN3.3T is closely related to X. griffiniae DSM 17911T. The digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) and average nucleotide identity (ANI) values between strains CS20T, AUT15.5T, XENO-11T, and CCN3.3T and the type strains of their more closely related species are below the 70% and the 95-96% divergence thresholds, respectively, used for prokaryotic species delineation. Hence, we propose the following four new species: Xenorhabdus bharatensis sp. nov. (the type strain is CS20T=CCM 9320T=CCOS 2070T), X. entomophaga sp. nov. (the type strain is XENO-11T=CCM 9389T=CCOS 2111T), X. siamensis sp. nov. (the type strain is AUT15.5T=CCM 9405T=CCOS 2116T), and X. thailandensis sp. nov. (the type strain is CCN3.3T=CCM 9406T=CCOS 2115T). The following biochemical tests may be useful for differentiating the novel species from their more closely related taxa: acetoin production, arginine dihydrolase, citrate utilization, gelatinase, glucose oxidation, indole production, and tryptophan deaminase. Our study contributes to a better understanding of the biodiversity and phylogenetic relationships of entomopathogenic bacteria associated with insect parasitic nematodes.

Project description:Four novel strains were isolated: PWU4T and PWU20T were both from soil in Germany, PWU5T was isolated from soil in India and PWU37T was obtained from sheep faeces collected on the Island of Crete. Cells of each were observed to be Gram-negative, strictly aerobic, rod shaped, and to grow optimally between 28 and 34 °C, between pH 7.0 and 8.0 and without the addition of NaCl. The strains were found to be catalase and oxidase-negative and able to grow on most mono- and disaccharides, a few polysaccharides and organic acids. Their predominant menaquinone was identified as MK-7. Their major fatty acids were identified as C16:1 ω7c (PWU4T and PWU20T) and C16:1 ω5c (PWU5T and PWU37T). The DNA G + C contents of strains PWU4T, PWU20T, PWU5T and PWU37T were determined to be 50.2 mol%, 51.6 mol %, 39.8 mol% and 53.8 mol%, respectively. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that the close relatives Ohtaekwangia koreensis 3B-2T and Ohtaekwangia kribbensis 10AOT share less than 93.8% sequence similarity. The strains were classified in two groups, where PWU4T and PWU20T share 93.0% sequence similarity, and PWU5T and PWU37T share 97.5% sequence similarity. However, the members of each group were concluded to represent different species based on the low average nucleotide identity (ANI) of their genomes, 69.7% and 83.8%, respectively. We propose that the four strains represent four novel species of two new genera in the family Cytophagaceae. The type species of the novel genus Chryseosolibacter is Chryseosolibacter histidini gen. nov., sp. nov. with the type strain PWU4T (= DSM 111594T = NCCB 100798T), whilst strain PWU20T (= DSM 111597T = NCCB 100800T) is the type strain of a second species, Chryseosolibacter indicus sp. nov. The type species of the novel genus Dawidia is Dawidia cretensis gen. nov., sp. nov. with the type strain PWU5T (= DSM 111596T = NCCB 100799T), whilst strain PWU37T (= DSM 111595T = NCCB 100801T) is the type stain of a second species, Dawidia soli sp. nov.
