  • Title: Abiotrophia balaenopterae sp. nov., isolated from the minke whale (Balaenoptera acutorostrata).
    Author: Lawson PA, Foster G, Falsen E, Sjödén B, Collins MD.
    Journal: Int J Syst Bacteriol; 1999 Apr; 49 Pt 2():503-6. PubMed ID: 10319470.
    Abstract:
    Phenotypic and phylogenetic studies were performed on a hitherto undescribed micro-organism isolated from a minke whale (Balaenoptera acutorostrata). Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequencing studies demonstrated that the unknown strain constituted a new subline close to, but distinct from, Abiotrophia adiacens and Abiotrophia elegans. The unknown bacterium was readily distinguished from these two Abiotrophia species by biochemical tests and electrophoretic analysis of whole-cell proteins. On the basis of phylogenetic and phenotypic evidence, it is proposed that the unknown bacterium be classified as Abiotrophia balaenopterae sp. nov., the type strain of which is M1975/96/1T (= CCUG 37380T).
