Abstract: During an investigation into the microbiota of beaked whales (Mesoplodon bidens), nine isolates were obtained from different organs of four animals. The isolates were Gram-positive-staining, catalase-negative, short rod-shaped or coccoid organisms. A phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences of these isolates allocated them to the genus Weissella, showing 96.3% and 96.0% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Weissella viridescens NRIC 1536(T)and Weissella minor NRIC 1625(T), respectively. On the basis of phenotypic, physiological and phylogenetic evidence, it is proposed that the new isolates from whales represent a novel species of the genus Weissella, Weissella ceti sp. nov. The type strain of Weissella ceti is 1119-1A-09(T) (=CECT 7719(T)=CCUG 59653(T)).
