TLDR
It is proposed that the unknown bacterium should be classified in a novel genus as Anaerotruncus colihominis gen. nov., sp.nov, based on phylogenetic and phenotypic evidence.Abstract:
Phenotypic and phylogenetic studies were performed on two isolates of an unidentified Gram-positive, anaerobic, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped bacterium that was isolated from human faeces. The organisms were catalase-negative, produced acetic and butyric acids as end products of metabolism and possessed a DNA G+C content of approximately 54 mol%. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequencing demonstrated that the two isolates were related closely to each other and formed a hitherto unknown sublineage within the Clostridium leptum rRNA cluster of organisms. Based on phylogenetic and phenotypic evidence, it is proposed that the unknown bacterium should be classified in a novel genus as Anaerotruncus colihominis gen. nov., sp. nov. The type strain of Anaerotruncus colihominis is WAL 14565T=CCUG 45055T=CIP 107754T.read more

Modulations of the Chicken Cecal Microbiome and Metagenome in Response to Anticoccidial and Growth Promoter Treatment
TL;DR: Overall, this study provides a more comprehensive glimpse of the chicken cecum microbial community, the modulations of this community in response to growth promoters, and targets for future efforts to mimic these effects using alternative approaches.

Cultivable bacterial diversity from the human colon.
TL;DR: This review focuses on under‐studied yet important gut anaerobes, many of which are being isolated and described that occupy distinct niches in the colonic microbial community.

TL;DR: The persistence of methanogenesis and the presence of other fermenters, not clearly recognised as hydrogen producers, indicates that competition for the substrate may explain the low hydrogen production.

Dietary Modulation of the Human Colonic Microbiota: Introducing the Concept of Prebiotics
TL;DR: By combining the rationale of pro- and prebiotics, the concept of synbiotics is proposed to characterize some colonic foods with interesting nutritional properties that make these compounds candidates for classification as health-enhancing functional food ingredients.

Precise Measurement of the G+C Content of Deoxyribonucleic Acid by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography
TL;DR: High-performance liquid chromatography is a promising alternative for determining the G+C content of bacterial deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and may also be more accurate than indirect methods, such as the buoyant density and thermal denaturation methods.

Rapid and sensitive protein similarity searches
TL;DR: An algorithm was developed which facilitates the search for similarities between newly determined amino acid sequences and sequences already available in databases and increases sensitivity by giving high scores to those amino acid replacements which occur frequently in evolution.
