Description and emendation
Original Description
expand / minimize
The nearest phylogenomic neighbours are Intestimonas butyriciproducens, Pseudoflavonifractor capillosus and Flavonifractor plautii. Corresponding dDDH values are 24.4, 24.7 and 24.7%, respectively. The respective differences in G+C content of DNA are 1.4, 1.1 and 3.0%. The dDDH value between P. capillosus and F. plautii is 26.6% (and the percentage of conserved proteins is 42.7%), and the dDDH between the genomes of I. butyriciproducens and F. plautii is 23.3%. The G+C content of genomic DNA of the type strain is 58 mol%.
