Description of Janibacter massiliensis sp. nov., cultured from the vaginal discharge of a patient with bacterial vaginosis

摘要

Strain Marseille-P4121(T) was isolated from a vaginal sample of a 45-year-old French woman with bacterial vaginosis. It is a Gram-positive, asporogenous, non-motile and aerobic bacterium. Strain Marseille-P4121(T) exhibits 98.2% 16S rRNA sequence similarity with Janibacter alkaliphilus strain SCSIO 10480(T), a phylogenetically closely related species with standing in nomenclature. Its major fatty acids were identified as C-18:1 omega 9 (34.4%), C-16:0 (30.1%), and C-18:0 (19%). The draft genome size of strain Marseille-P4121(T) is 2,452,608bp long with a 72.5% G+C content and contains 2351 protein-coding genes and 49 RNA genes including 3 rRNA genes. We propose that strain Marseille-P4121(T) (=CECT 9671(T)=CSUR P4121(T)) is the type strain of the new species Janibacter massiliensis sp. nov.
