Abstract: | A new bacterial strain, designated as FF42T, was isolated from feces of domestic pigs—collected from Suwon, Korea—and was characterized to determine its taxonomic position. Strain FF42T was observed to be Gram negative, aerobic, non-spore forming, motile, and rod-shaped cells. Based on the phylogenetic and 16S rRNA sequence analyses, it was revealed that strain FF42T belonged to the genus Comamonas. The highest degree of sequence similarities was determined to be with Comamonas zonglianii BF-3T (96.3 %), Comamonas composti CC-YY287T (96.1 %), and Comamonas nitrativorans 23310T (95.9 %), while showing less than 95.6 % identity with the remaining Comamonas species. Growth of strain FF42T occurred between 25 and 40 °C (optimum, 28 °C) and at pH of 5-9 (optimum, pH 6.0). It grew in the presence of 0–3 % (w/v) NaCl while minimally tolerating at 3 % (w/v) NaCl. Biochemical and physiological tests revealed phenotypic differentiation of strain FF42T to other members of the genus Comamonas. The predominant quinone is ubiquinone (Q-8). The major cellular fatty acids were C10:0 3OH, C16:0, summed feature 3 (C16:1 ω7c/C16:1 ω6c), and summed feature 8 (C18:1 ω6c/C18:1 ω7c), all of which have previously been reported to occur in the species of the genus Comamonas. The G+C molar content for strain FF42T is 60.2 mol %. Based on phylogenetic and phenotypic analyses, strain FF42T (=KEMC 1002-058T=JCM 17561T) is clearly referred to be a novel species for the genus Comamonas, for which the name Comamonas faecalis sp. nov. is proposed. |
