Abstract:Two novel Gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped, non-motile bacteria, strains TBRC 10068T and TBRC 16381T, were isolated from a fluid sample from a close-pitcher cup (Nepenthes gracilis) and an insect sample (Junonia lemonias), respectively. Comparing the 16S rRNA gene sequences with those found in EzBioCloud’s publicly available databases revealed that the two strains exhibited a close genetic relationship with Commensalibacter intestini A911T; the calculated sequence similarities were 98.56 and 97.70 %, respec… Show more
