This study isolated, cultivated, and characterized five novel anaerobic bacterial strains from human fecal samples. Based on taxonomic results, two new genera and five new species were proposed.
The human gastrointestinal tract is inhabited by various microorganisms, including thousands of bacterial taxa that have yet to be cultured and characterized. In this report, we describe the isolation, cultivation, genotypic and phenotypic characterization and taxonomy of five novel anaerobic bacterial strains that were recovered during the massive cultivation and isolation of gut microbes from human faecal samples. On the basis of the polyphasic taxonomic results, we propose two novel genera and five novel species. They are Acidaminococcus hominis sp. nov. (type strain NSJ-142T=CGMCC 1.17903T=KCTC 25346T), Amedibacillus hominis sp. nov. (type strain NSJ-176T=CGMCC 1.17933T=KCTC 25355T), Lientehia hominis gen. nov. sp. nov. (type strain NSJ-141T=CGMCC 1.17902T=KCTC 25345T), Merdimmobilis hominis gen. nov. sp. nov. (type strain NSJ-153T=CGMCC 1.17915T=KCTC 25350T) and Paraeggerthella hominis sp. nov. (type strain NSJ-152T=CGMCC 1.17914T=KCTC 25349T).
