Two novel Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, facultatively
anaerobic, non-motile, and short rods to coccoid strains were
isolated from the feces of the greater white-fronted geese
(Anser albifrons) at Poyang Lake. The 16S rRNA gene sequences
of strains 4H37-19T and 3HC-13 shared highest identity
to that of Corynebacterium uropygiale Iso10T (97.8%).
Phylogenetic and phylogenomic analyses indicated that strains
4H37-19T and 3HC-13 formed an independent clade within
genus Corynebacterium and clustered with Corynebacterium
uropygiale Iso10T. The average nucleotide identity and digital
DNA-DNA hybridization value between strains 4H37-19T and
3HC-13 and members within genus Corynebacterium were
all below 95% and 70%, respectively. The genomic G + C content
of strains 4H37-19T and 3HC-13 was 52.5%. Diphosphatidylglycerol
(DPG), phosphatidylglycerol (PG), phosphatidylinositol
(PI), phosphatidylcholine, and phosphatidyl inositol
mannosides (PIM) were the major polar lipids, with
C18:1ω9c, C16:0, and C18:0 as the major fatty acids, and MK-8
(H4), MK-8(H2), and MK-9(H2) as the predominant respiratory
quinones. The major whole cell sugar was arabinose,
and the cell wall included mycolic acids. The cell wall peptidoglycan
contained meso-diaminopimelic acid (meso-DAP).
The polyphasic taxonomic data shows that these two strains
represent a novel species of the genus Corynebacterium, for
which the name Corynebacterium poyangense sp. nov. is
proposed. The type strain of Corynebacterium poyangense
is 4H37-19T (=GDMCC 1.1738T = KACC 21671T).
