Abstract
During our studies on spoilage microbiomes of modified atmosphere packaged broiler meat, we isolated three strains (PNs007T, STAA11T and STAA25) of unknown identity. In this present polyphasic taxonomy study, including genome- based analyses, we discovered that these isolates represent two novel species belonging to the genus Vagococcus. In all phylogenetic analyses, PNs007T was positioned very close to Vagococcus fessus but both the average nucleotide identity (ANI; 89.5 %) and digital DNA- DNA hybridization (dDDH; 38.3 %) values distinguished it as a novel vagococcal species. STAA11T and STAA25 were genetically highly similar (16S rRNA, ANI and dDDH 100 %). The phylogenetic position of STAA11T was adjacent to but out of the cluster containing V. fessus, Vagococcus coleopterorum and PNs007T. According to the ANI (76.2-76.4 %) and dDDH (
