Peptostreptococcus hydrogenalis sp. nov. from human fecal and vaginal flora.
We describe Peptostreptococcus hydrogenalis sp. nov., which is found in human feces and vaginal discharge. This new species was established on the basis of the results of DNA-DNA hybridization among anaerobic cocci. The results of different biochemical reactions also are given. The type strain of this species is strain GIFU 7662 (= JCM 7635).
