Abstract

Abstract: Culturomics studies the microbial variety of the human microbiome by combining diversified culture conditions, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry and 16S rRNA gene identification. This study identifies three putative new bacterial species: Arcanobacterium ihumii sp. nov. strain Marseille-P5647 T, Varibaculum vaginae sp. nov. strain Marseille-P5644 T and Tessaracoccus timonensis sp. nov. strain Marseille-P5995 T, which we describe according to the concept of taxonogenomics.
