Eubacterium minutum sp. nov., isolated from human periodontal pockets.
We describe Eubacterium minutum sp. nov., which was isolated from human periodontal pockets. This new species was established on the basis of DNA-DNA hybridization data. The guanine-plus-cytosine content of its DNA is 38 to 40 mol%. The results of differential biochemical and enzymatic tests are described. The type strain of this species is strain M-6.
