title: Sellimonas intestinalisgen. nov., sp. nov., isolated from human faeces.
abstract: A Gram-stain-positive and obligately anaerobic bacterial strain, BR72T, forming ivory yellow colonies was isolated from a faecal sample of a healthy Korean woman. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain BR72Tbelongs toClostridiumcluster XIVa and represents a distinct phyletic line within the familyLachnospiraceae. The most closely related strains wereClostridium nexileDSM 1787T(94.1 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity),Coprococcus comesATCC 27758T(93.5 %),Ruminococcus torquesATCC 27756T(93.5 %),Ruminococcus lactarisATCC 29176T(93.5 %),Clostridium aerotoleransDSM 5434T(93.1 %) andEubacterium fissicatenaDSM 3598T(92.9 %). The DNA G+C content of strain BR72Tbased on its genome sequence was 45.3 mol%. The major cellular fatty acids were C16 : 0, C14 : 0, and iso-C17 : 1I and/or anteiso-C17 : 1B. Acetic acid was produced from glucose fermentation. Other physiological and biochemical comparisons allowed the phenotypic differentiation of strain BR72Tfrom the members of the familyLachnospiraceae. Based on the phylogenetic and phenotypic findings, this strain is considered to represent a novel species of a new genus belonging to the familyLachnospiraceaeand the nameSellimonas intestinalisgen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain ofSellimonas intestinalisis BR72T( = KCTC 15479T= JCM 30749T).
