Proposed Taxon Etymology Description Parent Taxon Type Registry URL
Genus Neosphaerochaeta [Ne.o.sphae.ro.chae'ta] Gr. masc. adj. neos, new; N.L. fem. n. Sphaerochaeta, a bacterial genus; N.L. fem. n. Neosphaerochaeta, a new genus related to Sphaerochaeta
The nomenclatural type of this genus was derived from anoxic incubations of cow rumen fluid with sulfoquinovose.
Sphaerochaetaceae Neosphaerochaeta fermentansTs seqco.de/i:54964
Species Caproiciproducens intestini [in.tes.ti'ni] L. gen. neut. n. intestini, of the gut, referring to the origin of the bacterium
The designated DNA sequence is MAG SQrumen2 recovered from cow rumen. This species was enriched in anoxic incubations of rumen fluid with sulfoquinovose. Genome-centric metatranscriptomic analysis suggests that sulfoquinovose is fermented via a bifurcated sulfo-transketolase/transaldolase pathway to isethionate and an unidentified sulfonate product.

Species Caproiciproducens ruminis [ru.mi'nis] L. gen. neut. n. ruminis, of the rumen, the source of the bacterium
The designated DNA sequence is MAG SQrumen1 recovered from cow rumen. This species was enriched in anoxic incubations of rumen fluid with sulfoquinovose. Genome-centric metatranscriptomic analysis suggests that sulfoquinovose is fermented via a bifurcated sulfo-transketolase/transaldolase pathway to isethionate and an unidentified sulfonate product.
Caproiciproducens NCBI Assembly: GCF_053840905.1 Ts seqco.de/i:54961
Species Neosphaerochaeta fermentansTs [fer.men'tans] L. fem. part. adj. fermentans, fermenting, referring to the source of genome from a sulfoquinovose fermenting bacterium
The designated DNA sequence is MAG SQrumen3 recovered from cow rumen. This species was enriched in anoxic incubations of rumen fluid with sulfoquinovose. Genome-centric metatranscriptomic analysis suggests sulfoquinovose is fermented to isethionate via the sulfo-transketolase pathway. The genome additionally encodes two different sulfoquinovosidases (YihQ and SqgA).
