RobinsoniellaRANK: GenusTAXONOMY: Bacteria -> Terrabacteria group -> Firmicutes -> Clostridia -> Clostridiales -> Lachnospiraceae -> Robinsoniella OVERVIEW: COTTA (M.A.), WHITEHEAD (T.R.), FALSEN (E.), MOORE (E.) and LAWSON (P.A.): Robinsoniella peoriensis gen. nov., sp. nov., isolated from a swine-manure storage pit and a human clinical source. Int. J. Syst. Evol. Microbiol., 2009, 59, 150-155. Robinsoniella peoriensis was recently identified as a Gram-positive, spore-forming, anaerobic rod originally isolated from swine manure storage pits. A polyphasic taxonomic study was performed on six strains of an unknown Gram-positive, non-motile, spore-forming, short oval to rod-shaped bacterium isolated from a swine-manure storage pit. In addition to these strains, an isolate deposited in the Culture Collection of the University of Göteborg (Sweden) was found to be biochemically related to the manure strains. The major end products of metabolism included acetate and succinate but not butyrate. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequencing confirmed that all these isolates were closely related to each other and formed a hitherto unknown lineage within the clostridial rRNA XIVa cluster of organisms.
