两个未知的革兰氏阳性，杆状细菌分离的乌龟和苏格兰野猫进行了多相分类学分析。化学分析表明，直链和单不饱和脂肪酸和短链分枝菌酸的存在下，在两个菌株符合属棒状杆菌。比较16S rRNA基因测序证实未知分离物是棒状杆菌属的成员，两种生物体彼此之间以及与该属的已建立物种之间显示出大于3%的序列差异。未知的棒状杆菌分离株很容易区分彼此和所有公认的物种属的生化试验。根据系统发育和表型证据，建议将来自龟和猫的未知生物分类为棒状杆菌属，分别为龟棒状杆菌（Corynebacterium testudinoris sp. nov.）和猫棒状杆菌（Corynebacterium felinum sp. nov.），分别C. testudinoris和C. felinum的CCUG 41823（T）和CCUG 39943（T）。
Two unknown Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacteria isolated from a tortoise and a Scottish wild cat were subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic analysis. Chemical analysis revealed the presence of straight-chain and monounsaturated fatty acids and short-chain mycolic acids in the two isolates consistent with the genus Corynebacterium. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequencing confirmed that the unknown isolates were members of the genus Corynebacterium, with the two organisms displaying greater than 3% sequence divergence from each other and from established species of the genus. The unknown Corynebacterium isolates were readily distinguished from each other and from all recognized species of the genus by biochemical tests. Based on phylogenetic and phenotypic evidence, it is proposed that the unknown organisms from a tortoise and a cat be classified in the genus Corynebacterium as Corynebacterium testudinoris sp. nov. and Corynebacterium felinum sp. nov., respectively. The respective type strains of C. testudinoris and C. felinum are CCUG 41823(T) and CCUG 39943(T).
