Copyright policy )Planococcus columbae sp. nov., isolated from pigeon faeces
An orange-pigmented, Gram-positive bacterial strain, designated PgEx11T, was isolated from pigeon faeces. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of the isolate indicated that it had 94.2–98.2 % sequence identity with respect to those of seven recognized species of the genusPlanococcus. The strain PgEx11Tcontained anteiso-C15 : 0as a major cellular fatty acid and MK-7 and MK-8 as the major menaquinones. The DNA G+C content of strain PgEx11Twas 50.5 mol%. Furthermore, analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated high levels of similarity withPlanococcus rifietoensis(98.2 %),Planococcus maitriensis(97.6 %),Planococcus citreus(97.5 %) andPlanococcus maritimus(97.1 %). However, the mean value for DNA–DNA relatedness between PgEx11Tand these four closely related species was in the range 45.4–16.8 %, respectively. Moreover, strain PgEx11Talso differs from its close relatives with regard to biochemical and chemotaxonomic characteristics. On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and genotypic differences, strain PgEx11Trepresents a novel species of the genusPlanococcus, for which the namePlanococcus columbaesp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is PgEx11T(=MTCC 7251T=DSM 17517T).
