Non-human primates harbor diverse microbiomes in their guts. As a part of China Microbiome Initiatives, we cultivated and characterized the gut microbiome of cynomolgus monkeys ( Macaca fascicularis ). In this report, we communicate the characterization and taxonomy of 8 bacterial strains that were obtained from fecal samples of captive cynomolgus monkeys. The results revealed that they represented 8 novel bacterial species. The proposed names of the 8 novel species are Alkaliphilus flagellate (type strain MSJ-5 T =CGMCC 1.45007 T =KCTC 15974 T ), Butyricicoccus intestinisimiae MSJd-7 T (type strain MSJd-7 T =CGMCC 1.45013 T =KCTC 25112 T ), Clostridium mobile (type strain MSJ-11 T =CGMCC 1.45009 T =KCTC 25065 T ), Clostridium simiarum (type strain MSJ-4 T =CGMCC 1.45006 T =KCTC 15975 T ), Dysosmobacter acutus (type strain MSJ-2 T =CGMCC 1.32896 T =KCTC 15976 T ), Paenibacillus brevis MSJ-6 T (type strain MSJ-6 T =CGMCC 1.45008 T =KCTC 15973 T ), Peptoniphilus ovalis (type strain MSJ-1 T =CGMCC 1.31770 T =KCTC 15977 T ), and Tissierella simiarum (type strain MSJ-40 T =CGMCC 1.45012 T =KCTC 25071 T ).
