Description and emendation
Original Description
expand / minimize
Phylogenomic analysis places strain 2PG-426-CC-4.2T into a separate lineage within the Firmicutes. dDDH values in comparison to the three closest phylogenomic neighbours (Anaerofustis stercorihominis, Eubacterium limosum and Pseudoramibacter alactolyticus) are 25.5, 28.5 and 31.5%, respectively. The respective differences in G+C content of DNA are 2.4, 11.7 and 15.9%. The RSH is larger than within the neighboured group that already contains three distinct genera. Hence, we propose to place the strain into a novel genus. The G+C content of genomic DNA is 35.8 mol%.
