Species[1]

Victivallis is a genus of strictly anaerobic bacteria, the only genus in the family Victivallaceae and order Victivallales.[1] The genus contains two species with validly published names: Victivallis lenta and the type species, Victivallis vadensis.[1] Both species have been isolated from mammalian intestinal-associated samples.[2][3]

Characteristics

[edit]

The type strain of V. vadensis was isolated from human feces. Its cells are non-motile, coccoid, and surrounded by an extracellular slime layer. It grows strictly anaerobically by fermenting sugars, including cellobiose. During growth on glucose, it produces acetate, ethanol, and molecular hydrogen.[2]

Victivallis lenta was isolated from the feces of a minipig. Under anaerobic culture conditions, it consumed glucose and produced primarily acetate, together with smaller amounts of lactate and formate. Genomic analysis identified starch, cellulose, and fructan as potential carbohydrate substrates.[3]

Taxonomy and etymology

[edit]

Victivallis is the nomenclatural type genus of both the family Victivallaceae and the order Victivallales.[1] The generic name combines the Latin words victus, meaning food, and vallis, meaning valley. It refers to the Wageningen “Food Valley” region of the Netherlands, where the type species was studied.[2][1]
