Abstract

Five novel lactic acid bacterial strains (BF125T, BF186, YK3, YK6, and YK10) were isolated from the fresh feces of Japanese black beef cattle or spent mushroom substrates and characterized using a polyphasic taxonomy method. These strains are rod-shaped, Gram-stain-positive, nonmotile, non-spore-forming, catalase-negative, cytochrome oxidase-negative, facultatively anaerobic, and homofermentative. The cells of BF125T were 0.5–0.7 µm in width and 3.0–7.0 µm in length. Strain BF125T did not produce any gas from glucose; both D- and L-lactate were produced as end products of glucose (D/L, 40:60). Growth occurred at a temperature of 30–45°C (optimum, 37°C), pH of 5.0–8.0 (optimum, pH 6.0), and NaCl concentration of 1.0–3.0% (w/v). The GC content of genomic DNA of strain BF125T was 37.8% (whole-genome analysis). The major fatty acids were C16:0, C18:1 w9c, C19:0 cyclo w8c, and summed feature 10. Strain BF125T retained high similarity of the 16S rRNA gene to the type strain of Lactobacillus amylovorus (99.93%), and the other isolates were also identified as L. amylovorus based on high 16S rRNA gene similarities. Comparison of the core genomes of L. amylovorus strains, including the five isolates, showed that they could be divided into two clusters, and phenotypic differences in fermentability were observed for D-lactose, salicin, and gentiobiose between these two groups. Digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) and average nucleotide identity (ANI) analyses showed that both categories were below the thresholds for defining subspecies (maximum dDDH value, 77.2%; maximum ANI value, 96.50%). In light of the physiological, genotypic, and phylogenetic evidence, we propose a novel subspecies of L. amylovorus, L. amylovorus subsp. animalis subsp. nov. Type strain: BF125T (= MAFF 212522T = DSM 115528T). Our results also led to the automatic creation of L. amylovorus subsp. amylovorus subsp. nov. and an emended description of the species L. amylovorus.
