Abstract

Abstract : A strain of an obligately anaerobic, Gram-stain-negative rod-shaped bacterium is described by phenotypical, biochemical and genotypical characterization. Strain A2672 T was isolated from a wound of a patient sampled during routine care at hospital. Phylogenetic analysis was based on full-length 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and revealed the strain to belong to the genus Prevotella, but to be distant from known species, with the closest relationship to Prevotella corporis . The genomic DNA G+C content was 44.0 mol%. Strain A2672 T was moderately saccharolytic and proteolytic. The most abundant cellular long-chain fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0 and iso-C15 : 0 . In view of these characteristics as well as whole-genome sequence analysis, strain A2672 T is considered to represent a novel species within the genus Prevotella, for which the name Prevotella brunnea sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is A2672 T (=DSM 108033 T =CCOS 1231 T =CCUG 72809 T ).
