| Abstract |
A Gram-positive, obligately anaerobic, oval-rod shaped, non-spore-forming, and non-pigmented bacterium, designated strain NATH-2371T (= JCM31739T = DSM105698T), was isolated from dog feces. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain NATH-2371T belongs to Clostridium cluster XIVa, and the closest strains were Coprococcus comes ATCC 27758T (94.8% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) and Clostridium nexile DSM 1787T (94.0%). Strain NATH-2371T produced acetate, formate, and ethanol from glucose. Predominant cellular fatty acids are C16:0 and C16:0 DMA. On the basis of the phenotypic and genotypic differences, strain NATH-2371T represents a novel species in a new genus of the family Lachnospiraceae, for which the name Glucerabacter canisensis gen. nov., sp. nov., is proposed. This strain was found to efficiently hydrolyze plant glucosylceramide (GluCer). The abundance of strain NATH-2371T in dog feces was higher in young dogs than in old dogs. Incubation of dog fecal bacteria showed that GluCer-hydrolyzing activity decreased with the age of dogs. The cell number of strain NATH-2371T in dog feces appeared to be correlated with GluCer hydrolysis. Thus, this bacterium is likely to play a major role in GluCer hydrolysis in the dog intestine. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 10 December 2017.
All research outputs
#5,806,116
of 23,011,300 outputs
Outputs from Archives of Microbiology
#443
of 2,797 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#113,024
of 439,400 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Archives of Microbiology
#4
of 18 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,011,300 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 74th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,797 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.7. This one has done well, scoring higher than 83% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 439,400 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 73% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 18 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 77% of its contemporaries.
