Bulleidia extructaRANK: SpeciesTAXONOMY: Terrabacteria group -> Firmicutes -> Erysipelotrichia -> Erysipelotrichales -> Erysipelotrichaceae -> Bulleidia -> Bulleidia extructa OVERVIEW: Solobacterium moorei is a closely related species and on the basis of its position in the 16S rRNA phylogenetic tree appears to represents a novel species within the genus Bulleidia. The name Bulleidia would have precedence by prior publication under Rule 27 of the Bacteriological Code.Slow growth on Fastidious Anaerobe Agar + 5 % horse blood. After 7 days incubation, colonies are 0.7-0.9 mm in diameter, circular, entire, low convex, grey to off-white, opaque and glossyFound in the human mouthIsolated from subgingival plaque in periodontitis and from odontogenic infections [2,3,4].Identified as a constituent of the oral microbiome by Human Oral Microbiome Database. Identified as constituent of vaginal microbiome. [PMID:23282177] This species has been identified as a resident in the human gastrointestinal tract based on the phylogenetic framework of its small subunit ribosomal RNA gene sequences.[PMC 4262072] |
