| corynebacterium tapiri sp. nov. and corynebacterium nasicanis sp. nov., isolated from a tapir and a dog, respectively. | two gram-stain-positive bacterial isolates, strain 2385/12t and strain 2673/12t were isolated from a tapir and a dog's nose, respectively. the two strains were rod to coccoid-shaped, catalase-positive and oxidase-negative. the highest 16s rrna gene sequence similarity identified corynebacterium singulare ccug 37330t (96.3% similarity) as the nearest relative of strain 2385/12t and suggested the isolate represented a novel species. corynebacterium humireducens dsm 45392t (98.7% 16s rrna gene sequ ... | 2015 | 26243302 |
