Description of Candidatus Alistipes merdigallinarum sp. nov.

Candidatus Alistipes merdigallinarum (mer.di.gal.li.na’rum. L. fem. n. merda faeces; L. fem. n. gallina hen; N.L. gen. n. merdigallinarum 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 2432 and which is available via NCBI BioSample SAMN15816893. Although GTDB has assigned this species to the genus it calls Alistipes_A, 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 49.96% and the genome length is 2.2 Mbp.

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 ChiHjej9B8-3741 and which is available via NCBI BioSample SAMN15816807. This is a new name for the alphanumeric GTDB species sp900546065. The GC content of the type genome is 57.66% and the genome length is 2.3 Mbp.

Description of Candidatus Alistipes pullicola sp. nov.

Candidatus Alistipes pullicola (pul.li’co.la. L. masc. n. pullus a young chicken; L. suff. -cola inhabitant of; N.L. n. pullicola an inhabitant of young chickens)

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 ChiHjej10B9-11434 and which is available via NCBI BioSample SAMN15816929. This is a new name for the alphanumeric GTDB species sp900546005. Although GTDB has assigned this species to the genus it calls Alistipes_A, 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 52.02% and the genome length is 1.9 Mbp.

Description of Candidatus Alistipes pullistercoris sp. nov.

Candidatus Alistipes pullistercoris (pul.li.ster’co.ris. L. masc. n. pullus a young chicken; L. neut. n. stercus dung; N.L. gen. n. pullistercoris of young chicken 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 3244 and which is available via NCBI BioSample SAMN15816930. This is a new name for the alphanumeric GTDB species sp900240235. Although GTDB has assigned this species to the genus it calls Alistipes_A, 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 56.88% and the genome length is 2.0 Mbp.
