Description of Candidatus Eubacterium avistercoris sp. nov.

Candidatus Eubacterium avistercoris (a.vi.ster’co.ris. L. fem. n. avis bird; L. neut. n. stercus dung; N.L. gen. n. avistercoris of bird faeces)

A bacterial species identified by metagenomic analyses. This species includes all bacteria with genomes that show ≥95% average nucleotide identity (ANI) to the type genome, which has been assigned the MAG ID CHK192-9172 and which is available via NCBI BioSample SAMN15816888. Although GTDB has assigned this species to the genus it calls Eubacterium_I, this genus designation cannot be incorporated into a well-formed binomial, so in naming this species, we have used the current validly published name for the genus. The GC content of the type genome is 45.90% and the genome length is 2.6 Mbp.

Description of Candidatus Eubacterium faecale sp. nov.

Candidatus Eubacterium faecale (fae.ca’le. L. neut. adj. faecale of faeces)

This species includes all bacteria with genomes that show ≥95% average nucleotide identity (ANI) to the type genome, which has been assigned the MAG ID CHK188-16595 and which is available via NCBI BioSample SAMN15816917. This is a new name for the alphanumeric GTDB species sp000431535. Although GTDB has assigned this species to the genus it calls Eubacterium_R, this genus designation cannot be incorporated into a well-formed binomial, so in naming this species, we have used the current validly published name for the genus. The GC content of the type genome is 46.56% and the genome length is 1.8 Mbp.

Description of Candidatus Eubacterium faecavium sp. nov.

Candidatus Eubacterium faecavium (faec.a’vi.um. L. fem. n. faex, faecis excrement; L. fem. n. avis bird; N.L. gen. n. faecavium of bird faeces)

A bacterial species identified by metagenomic analyses. This species includes all bacteria with genomes that show ≥95% average nucleotide identity (ANI) to the type genome, which has been assigned the MAG ID ChiHecec3B27-3607 and which is available via NCBI BioSample SAMN15816921. This is a new name for the alphanumeric GTDB species sp900539845. Although GTDB has assigned this species to the genus it calls Eubacterium_R, this genus designation cannot be incorporated into a well-formed binomial, so in naming this species, we have used the current validly published name for the genus. The GC content of the type genome is 45.56% and the genome length is 1.9 Mbp.

Description of Candidatus Eubacterium faecigallinarum sp. nov.

Candidatus Eubacterium faecigallinarum (fae.ci.gal.li.na’rum. L. fem. n. faex, faecis excrement; L. fem. n. gallina hen; N.L. gen. n. faecigallinarum of hen faeces)

A bacterial species identified by metagenomic analyses. This species includes all bacteria with genomes that show ≥95% average nucleotide identity (ANI) to the type genome, which has been assigned the MAG ID 8396 and which is available via NCBI BioSample SAMN15816904. Although GTDB has assigned this species to the genus it calls Eubacterium_R, this genus designation cannot be incorporated into a well-formed binomial, so in naming this species, we have used the current validly published name for the genus. The GC content of the type genome is 43.37% and the genome length is 1.6 Mbp.

Description of Candidatus Eubacterium faecipullorum sp. nov.
