corynebacterium atrinae sp. nov., isolated from the gastrointestinal tract of a pen shell, atrina pectinata.	a novel gram-stain-positive, non-motile, facultatively anaerobic and rod-shaped bacterium, strain pspt56(t), was isolated from the gastrointestinal tract of a pen shell (atrina pectinata). optimal growth of strain pspt56(t) was ascertained to occur at 30 °c, ph 8.0 and in the presence of 1-2 % (w/v) nacl. the strain was catalase-positive and oxidase-negative. the major cellular fatty acids were c18 : 1ω9c, c16 : 0, c17 : 1ω8c and c17 : 0. tuberculostearic acid was not present. the major cell-wal ...	2015	25404484
corynebacterium testudinoris sp. nov., from a tortoise, and corynebacterium felinum sp. nov., from a scottish wild cat.	two unknown gram-positive, rod-shaped bacteria isolated from a tortoise and a scottish wild cat were subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic analysis. chemical analysis revealed the presence of straight-chain and monounsaturated fatty acids and short-chain mycolic acids in the two isolates consistent with the genus corynebacterium. comparative 16s rrna gene sequencing confirmed that the unknown isolates were members of the genus corynebacterium, with the two organisms displaying greater than 3% sequ ...	2001	11491332
