Taxono-genomics description of Olsenella lakotia SW165 ^T sp. nov., a new anaerobic bacterium isolated from cecum of feral chicken.

ABSTRACT: Background: The microbial community residing in the animal gastrointestinal tract play a crucial role in host health. Because of the high complexity of gut microbes, many microbes remain unclassified. Deciphering the role of each bacteria in health and diseases is only possible after its culture, identification, and characterization. During the culturomics study of feral chicken cecal sample, we cultured a possible novel strain SW165 ^T. Methods: For the possible novel strain SW165 ^T, phenotypic characterization was performed using colony morphology, Gram staining, growth in different temperature and pH and motility. Biochemical assays included carbon source utilization, enzymatic activity, cellular fatty acids and short chain fatty acid production. 16S r
