Six strictly anaerobic Gram-negative bacteria representing three novel species were isolated from the female reproductive tract. The proposed type strains for each species were designated UPII 199-6T, KA00182Tand BV3C16-1T. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing indicated that the bacterial isolates were members of the genusMegasphaera. UPII 199-6Tand KA00182Thad 16S rRNA gene sequence identities of 99.9 % with 16S rRNA clone sequences previously amplified from the human vagina designated asMegasphaeratype 1 andMegasphaeratype 2, members of the human vaginal microbiota associated with bacterial vaginosis, preterm birth and HIV acquisition. UPII 199-6Texhibited sequence identities ranging from 92.9 to 93.6 % with validly namedMegasphaeraisolates and KA00182Thad 16S rRNA gene sequence identities ranging from 92.6–94.2 %. BV3C16-1Twas most closely related toMegasphaera cerevisiaewith a 16S rRNA gene sequence identity of 95.4 %. Cells were coccoid or diplococcoid, non-motile and did not form spores. Genital tract isolates metabolized organic acids but were asaccharolytic. The isolates also metabolized amino acids. The DNA G+C content for the genome sequences of UPII 199-6T, KA00182Tand BV3C16-1Twere 46.4, 38.9 and 49.8 mol%, respectively. Digital DNA–DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity between the genital tract isolates and other validly namedMegasphaeraspecies suggest that each isolate type represents a new species. The major fatty acid methyl esters include the following: C12 : 0, C16 : 0, C16 : 0dimethyl acetal (DMA) and summed feature 5 (C15 : 0DMA and/or C14 : 03-OH) in UPII 199-6T; C16 : 0and C16 : 1cis9 in KA00182T; C12 : 0; C14 : 03-OH; and summed feature 5 in BV3C16-1T. The isolates produced butyrate, isobutyrate, and isovalerate but there were specific differences including production of formate and propionate. Together, these data indicate that UPII 199-6T, KA00182Tand BV3C16-1Trepresent novel species within the genusMegasphaera. We propose the following names:Megasphaera lornaesp. nov. for UPII 199-6Trepresenting the type strain of this species (=DSM 111201T=ATCC TSD-205T),Megasphaera hutchinsonisp. nov. for KA00182Trepresenting the type strain of this species (=DSM 111202T=ATCC TSD-206T) andMegasphaera vaginalissp. nov. for BV3C16-1Trepresenting the type strain of this species (=DSM 111203T=ATCC TSD-207T).
