Adlercreutzia rubneri sp. nov., a resveratrol-metabolizing bacterium isolated from human faeces and emended description of the genus Adlercreutzia.

ABSTRACT: The novel, anaerobic, Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterial strain, ResAG-91^T, was isolated from a faecal sample of a male human volunteer. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that strain ResAG-91^T showed high similarity to the type strains of Adlercreutzia equolifaciens subsp. equolifaciens and Adlercreutzia equolifaciens subsp. celatus. Analysis of the whole draft genome sequences, i.e. digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) and average nucleotide identity (ANI), of strain ResAG-91^T and the type strains of Adlercreutzia species revealed that strain ResAG-91^T represents a novel species of the genus Adlercreutzia. The genome size of strain ResAG-91^T is 2.8 Mbp and the G+C content is 63.
