Abstract:
Six novel facultatively anaerobic, Gram-stain-positive, rod-shaped, non-haemolytic bacteria (zg-320 T /zg-336, zg-917 T /zg-910 and zg-913 T /zg-915) isolated from animal tissues and human faeces were found to belong to the genus Corynebacterium based on the phylogenetic analyses of 16S rRNA gene and 262 core genes set. Based on the greatest degree of 16S rRNA similarity, zg-320 T /zg-336 had the highest 16S rRNA gene similarity to Corynebacterium falsenii DSM 44353 T (97.51 %), zg-917 T /zg-910 to Corynebacterium coyleae DSM 44184 T (98.68 %), and zg-913 T /zg-915 to Corynebacterium afermentans subsp. lipophilum CIP 103500 T (98.79 %). The three novel type strains had a relatively high DNA G+C content (61.2–64.4 mol%), low DNA relatedness and ANI values with their respective neighbours: 23.5/72.7 %, 25.0/72.3%and 22.6/73.1 % (zg-320 T vs. Corynebacterium auriscanis CIP 106629 T , Corynebacterium resistens DSM 45100 T and Corynebacterium suicordis DSM 45110 T ); 24.4/82.3% and 23.7/81.3 % (zg-917 T vs. C. coyleae DSM 44184 T and Corynebacterium jeddahense JCB T ); 26.8/83.7% and 27.7/84.4 % (zg-913 T vs. Corynebacterium mucifaciens ATCC 700355 T and C. afermentans subsp. lipophilum CCUG 32105 T ). The three novel species had C 16 : 0 , C 18 : 0 , C 18 : 1 ω 9 c and C 18 : 0 ante/C 18 : 2 ω 6,9 c as the major cellular fatty acids; MK-8(H 2 ) in strain zg-917 T and MK-9(H 2 ) in strains zg-320 T and zg-913 T were found to be the major respiratory quinones. For the three novel species, the detected major polar lipids included diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidyl inositol mannoside, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylinositol, the cell-wall peptidoglycan was based on meso -DAP, and the whole-cell sugars mainly included ribose, arabinose and galactose. The three novel species grew optimally at 35–37 °C, 0.5 % (w/v) NaCl and pH 7.0–8.0; notably, they were tolerant of 10.5 % (w/v) NaCl. Based on the results of these comprehensive analyses, three novel species in the genus Corynebacterium are proposed, aptly named Corynebacterium zhongnanshanii sp. nov. (zg-320 T = GDMCC 1.1719 T = JCM 34106 T ), Corynebacterium lujinxingii sp. nov. (zg-917 T = GDMCC 1.1707 T = JCM 34094 T ) and Corynebacterium wankanglinii sp. nov. (zg-913 T = GDMCC 1.1706 T = JCM 34398 T ).
