Acetobacter oryzifermentans sp nov., isolated from Korean traditional vinegar and reclassification of the type strains of Acetobacter pasteurianus subsp ascendens (Henneberg 1898) and Acetobacter pasteurianus subsp paradoxus (Frateur 1950) as Acetobacter ascendens sp nov., comb. nov

摘要

Twelve Acetobacter pasteurianus-related strains with publicly available genomes in GenBank shared high 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (&99.59%), but average nucleotide identity (ANI) and in silico DNA-DNA hybridization (DDH) values and multilocus sequence- and genome-based relatedness analyses suggested that they were divided into four different phylogenetic lineages. Relatedness analyses based on multilocus sequences, 1,194 core genes and whole-cell MALDI-TOF profiles supported that strains LMG 1590(T) and LMG 1591 (previously classified as the type strains of A. pasteurianus subsp. ascendens and paradoxus, respectively) and strain SLV-7(T) do not belong to A. pasteurianus. Strain SLV-7(T), isolated from Korean traditional vinegar, shared low ANI (&91.0%) and in silico DDH (44.2%) values with all other Acetobacter type strains analyzed in this study, indicating that strain SLV-7(T) represents a new Acetobacter species. The phenotypic and chemotaxonomic analyses confirmed these results and therefore a new species named Acetobacter oryzifermentans sp. nov. is proposed with SLV-7(T) (=KACC 19301(T)=JCM 31096(T)) as the type strain. Strains LMG 1590(T) and LMG 1591 shared high ANI (99.4%) and in silico DDH (96.0%) values between them, but shared low ANI (&92.3%) and in silico DDH (&49.0%) values with other type strains analyzed in this study, indicating that strains LMG 1590(T) and LMG 1591 should be reclassified into a new single species that should be named Acetobacter ascendens sp. nov., comb, nov., with LMD 51.1(T) (=LMG 1590(T) = NCCB 51001(T)) as its type strain.
