Abstract:
Gram-staining-positive anaerobic rods were isolated from the faeces of a wild lowland gorilla ( Gorilla gorilla gorilla ) in Moukalaba-Doudou National Park, Gabon, and strain GG01 T was taxonomically investigated. Based on phylogenetic analyses and specific phenotypic characteristics, the strain belonged to the genus Bifidobacterium . Phylogenetic analysis of its 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that strain GG01 T formed a single monophyletic cluster and had a distinct line of descent. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, the type strains of Bifidobacterium catenulatum JCM 1194 T (98.3 %) and Bifidobacterium pseudocatenulatum (98.1 %) JCM 1200 T were the most closely related to this novel strain, although it was clear that they belonged to different species. hsp60 sequences also supported these relationships. The DNA G+C content of this novel strain was 60.1 mol%. Bifidobacterium moukalabense sp. nov. (type strain GG01 T = JCM 18751 T = DSM 27321 T ) is proposed.
