Adlercreutzia is a genus in the phylum Actinobacteria (Bacteria).[1]

Etymology[]

See also: List of bacterial genera named after personal names

The generic name derives from H. Adlercreutz, a professor at the University of Helsinki in Finland, for his contributions to research on the effects of phytoestrogens on human health.[2]

Species[]

The genus contains the following species:[2][3]

  • (Clavel et al. 2010) Nouioui et al. 2018
  • Maruo et al. 2008
  • (Clavel et al. 2009) Nouioui et al. 2018
  • (Lagkouvardos et al. 2016) Nouioui et al. 2018

Taxonomy[]

In 2018, Nouioui et al. proposed merging the genera Asaccharobacter, Enterorhabdus and Parvibacter within the genus Aldercreutzia based on observed clustering of these genera within phylogenetic trees.[4] However, subsequent phylogenetic analyses observed that Parvibacter caecicola exhibited much deeper branching compared to other Aldercreutzia species.[5] Additionally, five conserved signature indels (CSIs) present in the proteins excinuclease ABC subunit UvrA, flavodoxin-dependent (E)-4-hydroxy-3-methylbut-2-enyl-diphosphate synthase, phosphoribosylformylglycinamidine synthase, valine-tRNA ligase and cysteine–tRNA ligase were identified to be exclusively shared by all Aldercreutzia species with the exception of P. caecicola.[5] Thus, the emended description of the genus Aldercreutzia is the same as given before, with the exclusion of P. caecicola, which has been transferred back into the genus Parvibacter.
