Abstract

Non-human primates harbor diverse microbiomes in their guts. As a part of China Microbiome Initiatives, we cultivated and characterized the gut microbiome of cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis). In this report, we communicate the characterization and taxonomy of 8 bacterial strains that were obtained from fecal samples of captive cynomolgus monkeys. The results revealed that they represented 8 novel bacterial species. The proposed names of the 8 novel species are Alkaliphilus flagellate (type strain MSJ-5^T =CGMCC 1.45007^T=KCTC 15974^T), Butyricicoccus intestinisimiae MSJd-7^T (type strain MSJd-7^T =CGMCC 1.45013^T =KCTC 25112^T), Clostridium mobile (type strain MSJ-11^T =CGMCC 1.45009^T=KCTC 25065^T), Clostridium simiarum (type strain MSJ-4^T =CGMCC 1.45006^T =KCTC 15975^T), Dysosmobacter acutus (type strain MSJ-2^T =CGMCC 1.32896^T=KCTC 15976^T), Paenibacillus brevis MSJ-6^T (type strain MSJ-6^T =CGMCC 1.45008^T=KCTC 15973^T), Peptoniphilus ovalis (type strain MSJ-1^T =CGMCC 1.31770^T=KCTC 15977^T), and Tissierella simiarum (type strain MSJ-40^T =CGMCC 1.45012^T=KCTC 25071^T).
