Taxonogenomics of Culturomica massiliensis gen. nov., sp. nov., and Emergencia timonensis gen. nov., sp. nov. new bacteria isolated from human stool microbiota.

Two new bacterial strains, Marseille-P2698^T (CSUR P2698 = DSM 103,121) and Marseille-P2260^T (CSUR P2260 = DSM 101,844 = SN18), were isolated from human stools by the culturomic method. We used the taxonogenomic approach to fully describe these two new bacterial strains. The Marseille-P2698^T strain was a Gram-negative, motile, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped bacterium. The Marseille-P2260^T strain was a Gram-positive, motile, spore-forming rod-shaped bacterium. Major fatty acids found in Marseille-P2698^T were C_{15:0 iso} (63%), C_{15:0 anteiso} (11%), and C_{17:0 3-OH iso} (8%). Those found in Marseille-P2260^T strain were C_16:00 (39%), C_18:1n9 (16%) and C_18:1n7 (14%). Strains Marseille-P2698^T and Marseille-P2260^T had 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities of 91.50% with Odoribacter laneus^T, and of 90.98% and 95.07% with Odoribacter splanchnicus^T and Eubacterium sulci^T, respectively. The exhibited digital DNA-DNA Hybridization values lower than 20.7%, and Orthologous Average Nucleotide Identity values lower than 73% compared to their closest related bacterial species O. splanchnicus^T and E. sulci^T respectively. Phenotypic, biochemical, phylogenetic, and genomic results obtained by comparative analyses provided sufficient evidence that both of the two studied strains Marseille-P2698^T and Marseille-P2260^T are two new bacterial species and new bacterial genera for which the names Culturomica massiliensis gen. nov., sp. nov., and Emergencia timonensis gen. nov., sp. nov. were proposed, respectively.
