Abstract

Strains of a novel anaerobic, Gram-negative coccus were isolated from the supra-gingival plaque of children. Independent strains from each of six subjects were shown, at a phenotypic level and based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing, to be members of the genus Veillonella. Analysis revealed that the six strains shared 99.7 % similarity in their 16S rRNA gene sequences and 99.0 % similarity in their rpoB gene sequences. The six novel strains formed a distinct group and could be clearly separated from recognized species of the genus Veillonella of human or animal origin. The novel strains exhibited 98 and 91 % similarity to partial 16S rRNA and rpoB gene sequences of Veillonella parvula ATCC 10790(T), the most closely related member of the genus. The six novel strains could be differentiated from recognized species of the genus Veillonella based on partial 16S rRNA and rpoB gene sequencing. The six novel strains are thus considered to represent a single novel species of the genus Veillonella, for which the name Veillonella rogosae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CF100(T) (=CCUG 54233(T)=DSM 18960(T)).

Neighbour-joining tree based on nearly complete 16S rRNA gene sequences (1309 nt), showing relationships between strains CF100T, CF05, CF30, CF84, CF88 and CF24 and the type strains of recognized members of the genus Veillonella. Dialister pneumosintes ATCC 33048T was used as the outgroup organism. Accession numbers for 16S rRNA gene sequences are given for each strain. Bootstrap values are indicated at corresponding nodes.

Neighbour-joining tree based on partial rpoB gene sequences (608 nt), showing relationships between strains CF100T, CF05, CF30, CF84, CF88 and CF24 and recognized members of the genus Veillonella. Pseudoalteromonas atlantica T6c (gi:109698613 : 682317–686345) was used as the outgroup organism. The strains of V. parvula are not listed but were V. parvula ATCC 10790T (EF185158), V. parvula ATCC 17745 (EF185160) and an additional 22 rpoB gene sequences with accession numbers EU077574–EU077595. Bootstrap values are indicated at corresponding nodes. Bar, 0.1 substitutions per site.
