“…The predominant menaquinone (MK-7) detected in strains 3B-2 T and 10AO T is the same as found in all members of the phylum Bacteroidetes used in the phylogenetic analysis (Nakagawa et al , 1997; Nedashkovskaya et al , 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007; Vancanneyt et al , 2006; Weon et al , 2006; Vaz-Moreira et al , 2007; Finster et al , 2009; Srisukchayakul et al , 2007; Tang et al , 2009). Strains 3B-2 T and 10AO T could not be differentiated clearly from other members of the phylum Bacteroidetes based on their fatty acid profiles, but their fatty acid profiles showed differences in the nature and proportion of the major fatty acid(s) compared with several genera used in the phylogenetic analysis (Bowman et al , 2003; Brettar et al , 2004; Nedashkovskaya et al , 2005, 2006, 2007; Schmidt et al , 2006; Ying et al , 2006; Arun et al , 2009; Liu et al , 2009). The levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between strains 3B-2 T and 10AO T and other bacterial taxa were sufficient to differentiate these novel strains from previously known genera of the phylum Bacteroidetes .…”
