    Abstract:
    Bacteria with potential probiotic applications are not yet sufficiently explored, even for animals with economic importance. Therefore, we decided to isolate and identify representatives of the family Bifidobacteriaceae, which inhabit the crop of laying hens. During the study, a fructose-6-phosphate phosphoketolase-positive strain, RP51T, with a regular/slightly irregular and sometimes an S-shaped slightly curved rod-like shape, was isolated from the crop of a 13 -month-old Hisex Brown hybrid laying hen. The best growth of the Gram-stain-positive bacterium, which was isolated using Bifidobacterium-selective mTPY agar, was found out to be under strictly anaerobic conditions, however an ability to grow under microaerophilic and aerobic conditions was also observed. Sequencing of the almost complete 16S rRNA gene (1444 bp) showed Alloscardovia omnicolens CCUG 31649T and Bombiscardovia coagulans BLAPIII/AGVT to be the most closely related species with similarities of 93.4 and 93.1 %, respectively. Lower sequence similarities were determined with other scardovial genera and other representatives of the genus Bifidobacterium. Taxonomic relationships with A. omnicolens and other members of the family Bifidobacteriaceaewere also demonstrated, based on the sequences of dnaK, fusA, hsp60 and rplB gene fragments. Low sequence similarities of phylogenetic markers to related scardovial genera and bifidobacteria along with unique features of the bacterial strain investigated within the family Bifidobacteriaceae(including the lowest DNA G+C value (44.3 mol%), a unique spectrum of cellular fatty acids and polar lipids, cellular morphology, the wide temperature range for growth (15-49 °C) and habitat) clearly indicate that strain RP51T is a representative of a novel genus within the family Bifidobacteriaceae for which the name Galliscardovia ingluviei gen. nov., sp. nov. (RP51T=DSM 100235T=LMG 28778T=CCM 8606T) is proposed.
