Characterization of a psychrotrophic Clostridium causing spoilage in vacuum-packed cooked pork: description of Clostridium algidicarnis sp. nov.

A Clostridium species causing spoilage of vacuum-packed refrigerated pork was isolated and characterized. The unknown organism differed phenotypically from other clostridial species usually associated with spoilage. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing demonstrated that the psychrotroph represents a distinct line of descent within the genus Clostridium. It is proposed that the organism be classified as a new species of the genus Clostridium, Clostridium algidicarnis.
