Abstract
Four strains, KC07070T, KC07105, 11 025B-8C and 11 026B-8-C, were isolated from the oral cavity of cats in 2007 or 2011 in Japan. These strains were Gram-stain-negative rods, exhibited gliding motility, grew in air with 5 % CO2 and showed catalase and oxidase activity. The sequences of 16S rRNA genes of the four strains were 100 % identical. Additionally, the sequences of 16S rRNA genes of KC07070T had identity to those of the type strains of
Capnocytophaga canimorsus
(97.7 %),
Capnocytophaga cynodegmi
(97.8 %) and
Capnocytophaga canis
(97.4 %) and 91.2–93.8% identity to those of other species of the genus
Capnocytophaga
. The major cellular fatty acids of KC07070T were iso-C15 : 0 (56.2 %) and summed feature 11 (14.9 %). The G+C content of the DNA from KC07070T was 35.6 mol%, and the genome size was 2.88 Mbp. KC07070T had digital DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH) values of 26.2–27.6% and average nucleotide identity (ANI) values of 75.4–83.3 % to the type strains of the closest relatives,
C. canimorsus
,
C. cynodegmi
and
C. canis
. These results of phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequence, cellular fatty acids compositions and dDDH and ANI values indicate that strain KC07070T represents a novel species, for which we propose the name Capnocytophaga felis sp. nov., with type strain KC07070T (=JCM 32681T=DSM 107251T).
