Abstract
To clarify the evolutionary relationships among Peptoniphilus species, whose members show association with increased risk for prostate cancer, detailed phylogenomic and comparative analyses were conducted on their genome sequences. In phylogenetic trees based on core genome proteins and 16S rRNA gene sequences, Peptoniphilus species formed eight distinct clades, with Aedoeadaptatus and Anaerosphaera species branching between them. The observed clades designated as Peptoniphilus sensu stricto (encompassing its type species), Harei, Lacrimalis, Duerdenii, Mikwangii, Stercorisuis, Catoniae and Aedoeadaptatus, show genus level divergence based on 16S rRNA similarity and average amino acid identity (AAI). The Genome Taxonomy Database also assigns most of these clades to distinct taxa. Several Peptoniphilus species (viz. P. coxii, P. ivorii, P. nemausensis and some non-validly published species) grouped reliably with the type species of Aedoeadaptatus (A. acetigenes) and are affiliated to this genus based on 16S rRNA similarity, AAI, and multiple uniquely shared molecular signatures. Hence, we are proposing the transfer of these species into the emended genus Aedoeadaptatus. Our analyses on protein sequences from Peptoniphilus genomes have also identified 54 novel molecular markers consisting of conserved signature indels (CSIs), which are specific for different Peptoniphilus species clades and provide reliable means for their demarcation in molecular terms. Lastly, we also show that based on the shared presence of these CSIs in the genomes of uncharacterized Peptoniphilus spp. (cultured and uncultured), their affiliations to the specific Peptoniphilus clades can be accurately predicted. These results should prove useful in understanding the potential involvement of Peptoniphilus-related species in diseases.

Abstract
A novel, anaerobic, Gram-stain-positive coccoid strain, CBA3646T, was isolated from the faeces of a thoroughbred racehorse. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing yielded results indicative of CBA3646T representing a member of the genus Peptoniphilus, with the species most closely related to it being Peptoniphilus asaccharolyticus DSM 20463T, with a similarity of 94.79 %. DNA-DNA relatedness and average nucleotide identity values between CBA3646T and P. asaccharolyticus DSM 20463T were 21.4 and 67.6 %, respectively. CBA3646T has a circular chromosomal genome of 1 709 189 bp (45.5 mol% DNA G+C content), containing 1652 genes in total, 1584 predicted protein-coding genes, 3 complete rRNA loci and 47 tRNA genes. The cells were non-motile diplococci, catalase-positive and oxidase-negative. Growth of CBA3646T was observed at 20-40 °C (optimal temperature, 35 °C) and in the presence of 0-4 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum concentration, 1 %). The major fatty acids (>10 %) of CBA3646T were C16 : 0, C18 : 1ω9c and C18 : 1ω9c dimethyl acetal, with its major polar lipids being diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylglycerol. The elucidated phylogenetic, physiological, chemotaxonomic and molecular properties are indicative of strain CBA3646T representing a novel species of the genus Peptoniphilus, or which the name Peptoniphilus equinus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CBA3646T (= KACC 22890T = JCM 35845T).

Abstract
Novel bacterial taxonomy and nomenclature revisions can have significant impacts on clinical practice, disease epidemiology, and veterinary microbiology laboratory operations. Expansion of research on the microbiota of humans, animals, and insects has significant potential impacts on the taxonomy of organisms of clinical interest. Implications of taxonomic changes may be especially important when considering zoonotic diseases. Here, we address novel taxonomy and nomenclature revisions of veterinary significance. Noteworthy discussion centers around descriptions of novel mastitis pathogens in Streptococcaceae, Staphylococcaceae, and Actinomycetaceae; bovine reproductive tract pathogens in Corynebacteriaceae; novel members of Mannheimia spp., Leptospira spp., and Mycobacterium spp.; the transfer of Ochrobactrum spp. to Brucella spp.; and revisions to the genus Mycoplasma.

Abstract
Strains Marseille-P3761 and Marseille-P3195 are representatives of two bacterial species isolated from human specimens. Strain Marseille-P3761 was isolated from the stool of a healthy volunteer, while strain Marseille-P3915 was cultivated from the urine of a kidney transplant recipient. Both strains are anaerobic Gram-positive coccoid bacteria. Both are catalase-negative and oxidase-negative and grow optimally at 37 °C in anaerobic conditions. They also metabolize carbohydrates, such as galactose, glucose, fructose, and glycerol. The major fatty acids were hexadecanoic acid for both strains. The highest digital DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH) values of Marseille-P3761 and Marseille-P3195 strains when compared to their closest phylogenetic relatives were 52.3% and 56.4%, respectively. Strains Marseille-P3761 and Marseille-P3195 shared an OrthoANI value of 83.5% which was the highest value found with Peptoniphilus species studied here. The morphological, biochemical, phenotypic and genomic characteristics strongly support that these strains are new members of the Peptoniphilus genus. Thus, we suggest that Peptoniphilus coli sp. nov., and Peptoniphilus urinae sp. nov., are new species for which strains Marseille-P3761 (CSUR P3761 = CCUG 71,569) and Marseille-P3195 (CSUR P3195 = DSM 103,468) are their type strains, respectively of two new Peptoniphilus species, for which we propose the names Peptoniphilus coli sp. nov. and Peptoniphilus urinae sp. nov., respectively.

Phytogenic supplement containing menthol, carvacrol and carvone ameliorates gut microbiota and production performance of commercial layers. Sci Rep 2022; 12:11033.

Abstract
Consumer push towards open and free-range production systems makes biosecurity on farms challenging, leading to increased disease and animal welfare issues. Phytogenic products are increasingly becoming a viable alternative for the use of antibiotics in livestock production. Here we present a study of the effects of commercial phytogenic supplement containing menthol, carvacrol and carvone on intestinal microbiota of layer hens, microbial functional capacity, and intestinal morphology. A total of 40,000 pullets were randomly assigned to two sides of the experimental shed. Growth performance, mortality, egg production and egg quality parameters were recorded throughout the trial period (18–30 weeks of age). Microbial community was investigated using 16S amplicon sequencing and functional difference using metagenomic sequencing. Phytogen supplemented birds had lower mortality and number of dirty eggs, and their microbial communities showed reduced richness. Although phytogen showed the ability to control the range of poultry pathogens, its action was not restricted to pathogenic taxa, and it involved functional remodelling the intestinal community towards increased cofactor production, heterolactic fermentation and salvage and recycling of metabolites. The phytogen did not alter the antimicrobial resistance profile or the number of antibiotic resistance genes. The study indicates that phytogenic supplementation can mimic the action of antibiotics in altering the gut microbiota and be used as their alternative in industry-scale layer production.

Abstract
In this study, gas production from mixed anaerobic fermentation of rapeseed cake and sheep manure at low temperature (15.2-17.8 °C) was investigated in Qinghai rural household biogas digesters to understand the temporal dynamics of key microbial populations involved in fermentations. Different raw material ratios resulted in significantly different effects on biogas yields and microbial community compositions over 40 days. When the dry weight ratio of sheep manure to rapeseed cake was 1:2, the highest level of cumulative gas production was observed (122.92 m3·t-1). Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Actinobacteria were the dominant bacterial phyla among the 29 digester samples (total relative abundances > 79.23%), followed by Synergistetes (4.09-10.7%). Lactobacillus was the most abundant genus in the biogas digesters with high rapeseed cake contents (average relative abundances: 14.68%), while Peptoniphilus exhibited higher abundances (12.69%) in the mixed treatments. In addition, unclassified Synergistaceae abundances (6.64%) were positively associated with biogas production variation among treatments. Bacteroides (5.74%) and Pseudomonas (5.24%) both accounted for larger proportions of communities in the digesters that used more sheep manure. Methanomicrobiales (66.55%) was the most dominant archaeal group among digesters, with Methanogenium (41.82%) and Methanoculleus (16.55%) representing the main gas-producing archaeal genera; they were more abundant in biogas digesters with higher sheep manure contents and higher rapeseed cake contents, respectively. VFAs and pH were the main factors associated with differences in microbial communities among the 29 samples. Specifically, VFA concentrations were positively correlated with Lactobacillus, Methanoculleus and Methanothrix abundances, while pH was positively correlated with Bacteroides, Pseudomonas, and Methanobacterium abundances.
