Abstract
- Strain G4 was isolated from the stool sample of a wild gorilla ( Gorilla gorilla gorilla) from Cameroon. It is a facultative anaerobic, Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium. This strain exhibits a 16S rRNA nucleotide sequence similarity of 97.48 % with Paenibacillus typhae, the phylogenetically closest species with standing nomenclature. Moreover, the strain G4 presents some phenotypic differences when compared to other Paenibacillus species and shows a low MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry score that does not allow any identification. Thus, it is likely that this strain represents a new species. Here, we describe the characteristics of this organism, complete genome sequence, and annotation. The 6,933,847 bp size genome (1 chromosome but no plasmid) contains 5972 protein-coding genes and 54 RNAs genes, including 44 tRNA genes. In addition, digital DNA-DNA hybridization values for the genome of the strain G4 against the closest Paenibacillus genomes range between 19.7 and 22.1, once again confirming its new status as a new species. On the basis of these polyphasic data, consisting of phenotypic and genomic analyses, we propose the creation of Paenibacillus camerounensis sp. nov. that contains the strain G4.
