Bacteroides muris sp. nov. isolated from the cecum of wild-derived house mice.

ABSTRACT: Two bacterial strains, KH365_2^T and KH569_7, were isolated from the cecum contents of wild-derived house mice. The strains were characterized as Gram-negative, rod-shaped, strictly anaerobic, and non-motile. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that both strains were most closely related to Bacteroides uniformis ATCC 8492^T. Whole genome sequences of KH365_2^T and KH569_7 strains have a DNA G + C content of 46.02% and 46.03% mol, respectively. Most morphological and biochemical characteristics did not differ between the newly isolated strains and classified Bacteroides strains. However, the average nucleotide identity (ANI) and dDNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) values clearly distinguished the two strains from described members of the g
