Abstract

Abstract: Using a culturomics approach, a strain was isolated, identified and characterised following the taxonogenomics concept . Neobacillus massiliamazoniensis sp. nov., strain LF1 T (=CSURP1359) was isolated from human stool. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis of strain LF1 T (accession number: LK021124) exhibits 98.32% similarity levels with Neobacillus bataviensis strain IDA1115 (accession number: NR_036766.1), the phylogenetically closest related species with standing in nomenclature. The draft genome size of strain LF1 T (accession number: CVRB00000000 ) is 4.6 Mbp with a G+C content of 34.1 mol%. Analysis of phylogenic tree, genomic analysis and phenotypic criteria described here sufficiently prove that this bacterium is different from previously known bacterial species with standing in nomenclature and represents a new Neobacillus species belonging to Firmicutes phylum.
