Resumen:
© 2020 Elsevier GmbH Two isolates, one recovered from a carrot and another one from urban wastewater, were characterized using a polyphasic approach. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that both isolates clustered together, and were most closely related to Aliarcobacter lanthieri. Multilocus phylogenetic analysis (MLPA) using the concatenated sequences of five housekeeping genes (atpA, gyrA, gyrB, hsp60 and rpoB) suggested that these isolates formed a distinct phylogenetic lineage among the genera derived from the former genus Arcobacter. Whole-genome sequence, in silico DNA-DNA hybridization (isDDH) and the average nucleotide identity (ANI) value between the genome of strain F199T and those of related species confirmed that these isolates represent a novel species. These strains can be differentiated from its phylogenetically closest species A. lanthieri by its inability to growth on 1% glycine and by their enzyme activity of esterase lipase (C8) and acid phosphatase. Our results, by the application of a polyphasic analysis, confirmed that these two isolates represent a novel species of the genus Aliarcobacter, for which the name Aliarcobacter vitoriensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is F199T (=CECT 9230T=LMG 30050T).
