RESUMO
The taxonomic position of three actinobacterial strains, BCCO 10_0061T, BCCO 10_0798T, and BCCO 10_0856T, recovered from bare soil in the Sokolov Coal Basin, Czech Republic, was established using a polyphasic approach. The multilocus sequence analysis based on 100 single-copy genes positioned BCCO 10_0061T in the same cluster as Lentzea waywayandensis, strain BCCO 10_0798T in the same cluster as Lentzea flaviverrucosa, Lentzea californiensis, Lentzea violacea, and Lentzea albidocapillata, and strain BCCO 10_0856T clustered together with Lentzea kentuckyensis and Lentzea alba. Morphological and chemotaxonomic characteristics of these strains support their assignment to the genus Lentzea. In all three strains, MK-9(H4) accounted for more than 80â% of the isoprenoid quinone. The diagnostic diamino acid in the cell-wall peptidoglycan was meso-diaminopimelic acid. The whole-cell sugars were rhamnose, ribose, mannose, glucose, and galactose. The major fatty acids (>10â%) were iso-C15â:â0, anteiso-C15â:â0, iso-C16â:â0, and C16â:â0. The polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, methyl-phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylethanolamine, hydroxy-phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, and phosphatidylinositol. The genomic DNA G+C content of strains (mol%) was 68.8 for BCCO 10_0061T, 69.2 for BCCO 10_0798T, and 68.5 for BCCO 10_0856T. The combination of digital DNA-DNA hybridization results, average nucleotide identity values and phenotypic characteristics of BCCO 10_0061T, BCCO 10_0798T, and BCCO 10_0856T distinguishes them from their closely related strains. Bioinformatic analysis of the genome sequences of the strains revealed several biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) with identities >50â% to already known clusters, including BGCs for geosmin, coelichelin, ε-poly-l-lysine, and erythromycin-like BGCs. Most of the identified BGCs showed low similarity to known BGCs (<50â%) suggesting their genetic potential for the biosynthesis of novel secondary metabolites. Based on the above results, each strain represents a novel species of the genus Lentzea, for which we propose the name Lentzea sokolovensis sp. nov. for BCCO 10_0061T (=DSM 116175T), Lentzea kristufekii sp. nov. for BCCO 10_0798T (=DSM 116176T), and Lentzea miocenica sp. nov. for BCCO 10_0856T (=DSM 116177T).

A comprehensive polyphasic taxonomic investigation integrating taxongenomic criteria was conducted on strain IRAMC:0171T isolated from the root nodules of Retama raetam in Tunisia. This Gram-stain-negative and aerobic bacterium thrived within a temperature range of 5-45 °C, optimal at 28 °C, and tolerated salt concentrations from 0-6â% NaCl, with an optimal range of 0-3â%. It displayed pH tolerance from pH 4 to 10, thriving best at pH 6.8-7.5. Chemotaxonomically, strain IRAMC:0171T was characterized by diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, and phosphatidylethanolamine as polar lipids. Its predominant fatty acid composition was C18â:â1 ω7c (61.2â%), and the primary ubiquinone was Q10 (97â%). Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene of strain IRAMC:0171T showed 99.08â% similarity to Mesorhizobium waimense ICMP 19557T, Mesorhizobium amorphae ACCC 19665T, and Mesorhizobium huakuii IAM 14158. However, digital DNA-DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity analyses revealed values ranging from 21.1 to 25.2â% and 77.05 to 82.24â%, respectively, signifying significant deviation from established species demarcation thresholds. Phylogenetic studies, encompassing 16S rRNA, whole-genome-based tree reconstruction, and core protein analysis, positioned strain IRAMC:0171T closest to Mesorhizobium terrae KCTC 72278T and 'Mesorhizobium hungaricum' UASWS1009T, forming together a distinct branch within the genus Mesorhizobium. In consideration of this comprehensive data, we propose strain IRAMC:0171T (=DSM 112841T=CECT 30767T) as the type strain of a new species named Mesorhizobium retamae sp. nov.

A nitrogen-fixing actinobacterium strain (Cc1.17T) isolated from a root nodule of Colletia cruciata was subjected to polyphasic taxonomic studies. The strain was characterized by the presence of meso-diaminopimelic acid in its peptidoglycan, galactose, glucose, mannose, rhamnose, ribose and xylose as cell-wall sugars, phosphatidylinositol, diphosphatidylglycerol, glycophospholipids, phosphatidylglycerol, glycophospholipid and uncharacterized lipids as its polar lipids, and C16â:â0, iso-C16â:â0, C17â: 1 ω9 and C18â:â1 ω9 as major fatty acids (>10â%). Strain Cc1.17T showed 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities of 97.4-99.8â% to validly named Frankia species. Phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene and genome sequences placed strain Cc1.17T in a new lineage within the genus Frankia. Digital DNA-DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity values between strain Cc1.17T and its closest phylogenomic neighbours were well below the thresholds recommended for prokaryotic species delineation. Therefore, strain Cc1.17T (=DSM 43829T=CECT 9313T) merits recognition as the type strain of a new species for which the name Frankia colletiae sp. nov. is proposed.

Strain TÜ4103T was originally sampled from Java, Indonesia and deposited in the Tübingen strain collection under the name 'Streptomyces sp.'. The strain was found to be an antibiotic producer as strain TÜ4103T showed bioactivity against Gram-positive bacteria, such as Bacillus subtilis and Kocuria rhizophila in bioassays. Strain TÜ4103T showed 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 99.65â% to Kitasatospora cheerisanensis DSM 101999T and 98.82â% to Kitasatospora niigatensis DSM 44781T and Kitasatospora cineracea DSM 44780T. Genome-based phylogenetic analysis revealed that strain TÜ4103T is closely related to K. cineracea DSM 44780T and K. niigatensis DSM 44781T. The digital DNA-DNA hybridization values between the genome sequences of strain TÜ4103T and its closest phylogenomic relatives, strains DSM 44780T and DSM 44781T, were 43.0 and 42.9â%, respectively. Average nucleotide identity (ANI) values support this claim, with the highest ANI score of 91.14â% between TÜ4103T and K. niigatensis being closely followed by an ANI value of 91.10â% between K. cineracea and TÜ4103T. The genome of TÜ4103T has a size of 7.91 Mb with a G+C content of 74.05 mol%. Whole-cell hydrolysates of strain TÜ4103T are rich in meso-diaminopimelic acid, and rhamnose, galactose and mannose are characteristic as whole-cell sugars. The phospholipid profile contains phosphatidylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol and glycophospholipid. The predominant menaquinones (>93.5â%) are MK-9(H8) and MK-9(H6). Based on the phenotypic, genotypic and genomic characteristics, strain TÜ4103T (=DSM 114396T=CECT 30712T) merits recognition as the type strain of a novel species of the genus Kitasatospora, for which the name Kitasatospora fiedleri sp. nov. is proposed.

Novel Corynebacterium strains, 3BT and 7BT, were isolated from the oral cavities of young chicks of yellow-eyed penguins (hoiho), Megadyptes antipodes. A polyphasic taxonomic characterization of these strains revealed chemotaxonomic, biochemical and morphological features that are consistent with those of the genus Corynebacterium. The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values between the strains and their closest phylogenetic neighbour, Corynebacterium ciconiae CCUG 47525T were 99.07â%, values that are in line with their phylogenomic positions within the evolutionary radiation of the genus Corynebacterium. Digital DNA-DNA hybridization values and average nucleotide identities between the genome sequences of the two strains and related Corynebacterium species were well below the defined threshold values (70 and 95-96â%, respectively) for prokaryotic species delineation. The genome size of these strains varied between 2.45-2.46 Mb with G+C content 62.7-62.9âmol%. Strains 3BT and 7BT were Gram-stain positive bacilli that were able to grow in presence of 0-10â% (w/v) NaCl and at temperature ranging between 20-37 °C. The major fatty acids (>15â%) were C16â:â0 and C18â:â1 ω9c, and the mycolic acid profile included 32-36 carbon atoms. We propose that these strains represent a novel species, Corynebacterium megadyptis sp. nov. with 3BT (=DSM 111184T=NZRM 4755T) as the type strain. Phylogenomically, strains 3BT and 7BT belong to two lineages with subtle differences in MALDI-TOF spectra, chemotaxonomic profiles and phenotypic properties. The fatty acid profile of strain 3BT contains C18â:â0 as a predominant type (>15â%), which is a minor component in strain 7BT. Strain 7BT can oxidize N-acetyl-d-glucosamine, l-serine, α-hydroxy-butyric acid, l-malic acid, l-glutamic acid, bromo-succinic acid and l-lactic acid, characteristics not observed in strain 3BT. Therefore, we propose that these strains represent two subspecies, namely Corynebacterium megadyptis subsp. megadyptis subsp. nov. (type strain, 3BT=DSM 111184T=NZRM 4755T) and Corynebacterium megadyptis subsp. dunedinense subsp. nov. (type strain, 7BT=DSM 111183T=NZRM 4756T).

Frankia strain Ag45/Mut15T was isolated from a root nodule of Alnus glutinosa growing in a swamp at lake Grossensee, Germany. The strain forms root nodules on A. glutinosa, in which it produces hyphae and clusters of N2-fixing vesicles. N2-fixing vesicles are also produced in nitrogen-free growth medium, in addition to hyphae and sporangia. The whole-cell hydrolysates of strain Ag45/Mut15T contained meso-diaminopimelic acid in the peptidoglycan and ribose, xylose, mannose, glucose, galactose and a trace of rhamnose as cell-wall sugars. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, diphosphatidylglycerol and glyco-phospholipid. The predominant (>20â%) menaquinones were MK-9(H6) and MK-9(H4). The major fatty acid profile (>10â%) consisted of iso-C16:0, C17â:â1 ω8c and C17â:â0. Pairwise 16S rRNA gene distances showed that strain Ag45/Mut15T was most closely related to Frankia torreyi CpI1T and Candidatus Frankia nodulisporulans with 16S rRNA gene similarity values of 0.001335 substitutions per site. An multilocus sequence analysis phylogeny based on atpD, dnaA, ftsZ, pgk and rpoB amino acid sequences positioned the strain within cluster 1 of Alnus- and Myrica-nodulating species, close to Candidatus F. nodulisporulans AgTrST and F. canadensis ARgP5T. The digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) and average nucleotide identity (ANI) values between the studied strain Ag45/Mut15T and all validly named Frankia species were below the defined threshold for prokaryotic species demarcation. Candidatus F. nodulisporulans AgTrST, which cannot be cultivated in vitro, was found to be the closest phylogenetic neighbour to strain strain Ag45/Mut15T with dDDH and ANI values of 61.8 and 97â%, respectively. Strain Ag45/Mut15T was not able to sporulate in nodule tissues like strain AgTrST.Phenotypic, physiological and phylogenomic analyses confirmed the assignment of strain Ag45/Mut15T (=DSM 114737T=LMG 326O1T) to a novel species, with Ag45/Mut15T as type strain, for which the name Frankia umida sp. nov. is proposed.

Strains USC-21046T and USC-21048T were isolated from foaming coastal marine waters on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia. Both strains displayed growth and morphological characteristics typical for members belonging to the genus Nocardia. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine, and the major fatty acids were C16â:â0, C18â:â1 ω9c, C18â:â0 and C18â:â0 10-methyl. The mycolic acids of strains USC-21046T and USC-21048T consisted of chain lengths between 50-64 and 56-68, respectively. Moreover, both of those strains contained meso-diaminopimelic acid and ribose, arabinose, glucose and galactose as whole cell sugars. Based on the phylogenomic results, both strains belonged to the genus Nocardia with strain USC-21046T showing an 80.4â% genome similarity to N. vinacea NBRC 16497T and N. pseudovaccinii NBRC 100343T, whereas USC-21048T strain showed an 83.6â% genome similarity to N. aobensis NBRC 100429T. Both strains were delineated from their closely related relatives based on physiological (e.g. growth on sole carbon source) and chemotaxonomic (e.g. cellular fatty composition) differences. The digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) values between USC-21046T and USC-21048T and their closely related relatives were below the dDDH threshold value of ≤70â% used for the taxonomic classification of novel species status. The genome length of strains USC-21046T and USC-21048T were 6â878â863 and 7â066â978 bp, with G+C contents of 65.2 and 67.8âmol%, respectively. For the novel isolates, we propose the names Nocardia australiensis sp. nov. with the type strain USC-21046T (=DSM 111727T=NCCB 100867T) and Nocardia spumae sp. nov. with the type strain USC-21048T (=DSM 111726T=NCCB 100868T).

Two novel Micromonospora strains, STR1-7T and STR1S-6T, were isolated from the rhizosphere of a Parastrephia quadrangularis plant growing in the Salar de Tara region of the Atacama Desert, Chile. Chemotaxonomic, cultural and phenotypic features confirmed that the isolates belonged to the genus Micromonospora. They grew from 20 to 37â°C, from pH7 to 8 and in the presence of up to 3â%, w/v NaCl. The isolates formed distinct branches in Micromonospora gene trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and on a multi-locus sequence analysis of conserved house-keeping genes. A phylogenomic tree generated from the draft genomes of the isolates and their closest phylogenetic neighbours showed that isolate STR1-7T is most closely related to Micromonospora orduensis S2509T, and isolate STR1S-6 T forms a distinct branch that is most closely related to 12 validly named Micromonospora species, including Micromonospora saelicesensis the earliest proposed member of the group. The isolates were separated from one another and from their closest phylogenomic neighbours using a combination of chemotaxonomic, genomic and phenotypic features, and by low average nucleotide index and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values. Consequently, it is proposed that isolates STR1-7T and STR1S-6T be recognized as representing new species in the genus Micromonospora, namely as Micromonospora parastrephiae sp. nov. and Micromonospora tarensis sp. nov.; the type strains are STR1-7T (=CECT 9665T=LMG 30768T) and STR1S-6T (=CECT 9666T=LMG 30770T), respectively. Genome mining showed that the isolates have the capacity to produce novel specialized metabolites, notably antibiotics and compounds that promote plant growth, as well as a broad-range of stress-related genes that provide an insight into how they cope with harsh abiotic conditions that prevail in high-altitude Atacama Desert soils.

Strains CN4T, CN6, CN7 and CNm7 were isolated from root nodules of Coriaria nepalensis from Murree in Pakistan. They do not form root nodules on C. nepalensis nor on Alnus glutinosa although they deformed root hairs of Alnus. The colonies are bright red-pigmented, the strains form hyphae and sporangia but no N2-fixing vesicles and do not fix nitrogen in vitro. The peptidoglycan of strain CN4T contains meso-diaminopimelic acid; whole cell sugars consist of ribose, mannose, glucose, galactose and rhamnose. Diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol and two unknown lipids represent the major polar lipids; MK-9(H4) and MK-9(H6) are the predominant menaquinones (>15â%), and iso-C16â:â0 and C17â:â1ω8c are the major fatty acids (>15â%). The results of comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses indicated that strain CN4T is most closely related to Frankia saprophytica CN 3T. An MLSA phylogeny using amino acids sequences of AtpD, DnaA, FtsZ, Pgk and RpoB, assigned the strain to cluster 4 non-nodulating species, close to F. saprophytica CN 3T , Frankia asymbiotica M16386T and Frankia inefficax EuI1cT with 0.04 substitutions per site, while that value was 0.075 with other strains. Digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) and average nucleotide identity (ANI) values between CN4T and all species of the genus Frankia with validly published names were below the defined threshold for prokaryotic species demarcation, with dDDH and ANI values at or below 27.8 and 83.7â%, respectively. The four strains CN4T, CN6, CN7 and CNm7 had dDDH (98.6-99.6â%) and ANI values that grouped them as representing a single species. CN4T has a 10.76 Mb genome. CN4T was different from its close phylogenetic neighbours with validly published names in being red-pigmented, in having several lantibiotic-coding clusters, a carbon monoxide dehydrogenase cluster and a clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) cluster. The results of phenotypic, physiological and phylogenomic analyses confirmed the assignment of strain CN4T (=DSM 114740T = LMG 32595T) to a novel species, with CN4T as type strain, for which the name Frankia nepalensis sp. nov. is proposed.

BACKGROUND: Recent studies highlighted the biosynthetic potential of nocardiae to produce diverse novel natural products comparable to that of Streptomyces, thereby making them an attractive source of new drug leads. Many of the 119 Nocardia validly named species were isolated from natural habitats but little is known about the diversity and the potential of the endophytic nocardiae of root nodule of actinorhizal plants. RESULTS: The taxonomic status of an actinobacterium strain, designated ncl2T, was established in a genome-based polyphasic study. The strain was Gram-stain-positive, produced substrate and aerial hyphae that fragmented into coccoid and rod-like elements and showed chemotaxonomic properties that were also typical of the genus Nocardia. It formed a distinct branch in the Nocardia 16S rRNA gene tree and was most closely related to the type strains of Nocardia nova (98.6%), Nocardia jiangxiensis (98.4%), Nocardia miyuensis (97.8%) and Nocardia vaccinii (97.7%). A comparison of the draft genome sequence generated for the isolate with the whole genome sequences of its closest phylogenetic neighbours showed that it was most closely related to the N. jiangxiensis, N. miyuensis and N. vaccinii strains, a result underpinned by average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization data. Corresponding taxogenomic data, including those from a pan-genome sequence analysis showed that strain ncl2T was most closely related to N. vaccinii DSM 43285T. A combination of genomic, genotypic and phenotypic data distinguished these strains from one another. Consequently, it is proposed that strain ncl2T (= DSM 110931T = CECT 30122T) represents a new species within the genus Nocardia, namely Nocardia alni sp. nov. The genomes of the N. alni and N. vaccinii strains contained 36 and 29 natural product-biosynthetic gene clusters, respectively, many of which were predicted to encode for a broad range of novel specialised products, notably antibiotics. Genome mining of the N. alni strain and the type strains of its closest phylogenetic neighbours revealed the presence of genes associated with direct and indirect mechanisms that promote plant growth. The core genomes of these strains mainly consisted of genes involved in amino acid transport and metabolism, energy production and conversion and transcription. CONCLUSIONS: Our genome-based taxonomic study showed that isolate ncl2T formed a new centre of evolutionary variation within the genus Nocardia. This novel endophytic strain contained natural product biosynthetic gene clusters predicted to synthesize novel specialised products, notably antibiotics and genes associated with the expression of plant growth promoting compounds.

A genome-based polyphasic study was undertaken to establish the taxonomic status of an actinobacterium strain isolated from an actinorhizal root nodule. Strain ncl1T was found to have chemotaxonomic, cultural and morphological properties characteristic of members of the genus Nocardia. The strain was closely related to Nocardia aurea in the phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene and genome sequences. The draft genome of the strain is 8.9 Mbp in size, has a genomic DNA G + C content of 67.0% and was predicted to contain at least 19 biosynthetic gene clusters encoding for specialized metabolites. Strain ncl1T was distinguished from its closest neighbour, N. aurea DSM 103986T, by a broad range of phenotypic properties and by low average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization scores. Consequently, the strain represents a novel Nocardia species for which the name Nocardia noduli sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is ncl1T (CECT 30123T = DSM 110878T). The present study provides further evidence that actinorhizal nodules are a source of novel species of Nocardia.

A polyphasic study was designed to resolve the taxonomic position of isolate MGRD01-02T which was recovered from an acidic hot spring in Indonesia and assigned to the genus Actinospica. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences show that the isolate is most closely related to the type strains of Actinospica acidiphila (98.5%), Actinospica robiniae (97.8%) and Actinospica durhamensis (96.8%). Morphological and chemotaxonomic data underpin the assignment of the isolate to the genus Actinospica as it forms an extensively branched substrate mycelium which carries tufts of white aerial hyphae that differentiate into straight to flexuous chains of cylindrical spores with faint rugose surfaces, contains 2,6-diamino-3-hydroxydiaminopimelic acid in the peptidoglycan, mixtures of hydrogenated menaquinones with nine isoprene units, iso-C 15:O and iso-C 16:O as major fatty acids and phosphatidylethanolamine as the diagnostic phospholipid. Whole-genome sequence analyses show that the isolate, A. durhamensis CSCA 57T and Actinocrinis puniceicyclus DSM 45168T have genome sizes of 7.9, 9.6 and 6.7 Mbp, respectively. A phylogenomic tree shows that they form distinct branches in a well-supported clade, a result supported by associated phenotypic data. Average nucleotide identity and digital DNA:DNA hybridization similarities are below the recommended thresholds for assigning strains to the same species; they also indicate that isolate MGRD01-02T is most closely related to the A. durhamensis and A. robiniae strains. Corresponding amino acid identity and conserved protein data not only support these relationships but also confirm the taxonomic integrity of the genus Actinocrinis. Based on these results, it is proposed that isolate MGRD01-02T (= CCMM B1308T = ICEBB-09T = NCIMB 15218T) be classified in the genus Actinospica as Actinospica acidithermotolerans sp. nov. The draft genome of the isolate and its closest phylogenomic neighbours contain biosynthetic gene clusters with the potential to produce new natural products, notably antibiotics.

A genome led phylophasic study was designed to determine the taxonomic status of a strain, DSM 45956, recovered from a Saharan desert soil. A wealth of taxonomic data, including average nucleotide identity and DNA:DNA hybridization (DDH) values, showed that the isolate and the type strains of Actinopolyspora lacussalsi and Actinopolyspora righensis belong to the same species. Consequently, it is proposed that A. righensis is a heterotypic synonym of A. lacussalsi. Similarly, DDH values and associated phenotypic data show that A. lacussalsi contains two subspecies, A. lacussalsi subsp. lacussalsi and A. lacussalsi subsp. righensis which includes isolate DSM 45956.

A novel Gram-negative, facultative anaerobic, rod-shaped, and non-motile bacterium with bio-degradation potential of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and uranium bio-reduction, designated as RCRI7T, was isolated from Qurugöl Lake water near Tabriz city. Strain RCRI7T can grow in the absence of NaCl and tolerates up to 3% NaCl (optimum, 0-0.5%), at the temperature range of 4-45 °C (optimum, 30 °C) and a pH range of 6-9 (optimum, pH 7 ± 0.5). Results of phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that strain RCRI7T is affiliated with the genus Shewanella, most closely related to Shewanella xiamenensis S4T (99.1%) and Shewanella putrefaciens JCM 20190T (98.9%). The genomic DNA G+C content of strain RCRI7T is 41 mol%. The major fatty acids are C16:1ω9c, C18:1ω9c and iso-C17:1ω5c. The OrthoANI and ANIb values between RCRI7T and Shewanella xiamenensis S4T were 87.4% and 87.7%, and between RCRI7T and Shewanella putrefaciens JCM 20190T were 79.5% and 79.7%, respectively. Strain RCRI7T displayed dDDH values of 30.2% and 39.8% to Shewanella xiamenensis S4T and Shewanella putrefaciens JCM 20190T, respectively. The major polar lipids include phosphatidylglycerol (PG) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE). The respiratory quinone is Q8. Based on the polyphasic evidence presented in this paper, strain RCRI7T is considered to represent a novel species, with bioremediation potential, in the genus Shewanella, for which the name Shewanella azerbaijanica sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is RCRI7T (= JCM 17276T) (= KCTC 62476T).

A new actinobacterium strain, designated BMG 823T, was isolated from a limestone sample collected in Tunisia. Its taxonomic position was scrutinized using a polyphasic approach. Colonies of strain BMG 823T were pink orange-coloured, regular and had a moist surface. Cells are Gram-stain-positive, catalase-negative and oxidase-negative. The strain grew at pH 5.5-9, 10-40 °C and in presence of up to 4â% NaCl (w/v). Chemotaxonomically, strain BMG 823T was characterized by cell-wall type III containing meso-diaminopimelic acid as diamino acid, glucose, ribose and rhamnose as whole-cell sugars, MK-9(H4) as predominant menaquinone, and phosphatidylcholine, diphosphadidylglycerol, phosphatidethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylinositol, unidentified glycolipid, unidentified aminophospholipids and unidentified glycophospholipid as major polar lipids. The fatty acid profile consisted of iso-C16â:â0 and iso-C17â:â1 ω9. Phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene and genome sequences placed strain BMG 823T within the genus Blastococcus and separated it from all type strains of validly published species. Comparison of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, digital DNA-DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity indicated that strain BMG 823T was most closely related to Blastococcus litoris DSM 106127T and Blastococcus colisei BMG 822T with pairwise values well below the species differentiation thresholds. The distinct phenotypic and genotypic features of strain BMG 823T (=DSM 46838T=CECT 8881T) within the genus Blastococcus warrant its recognition as the type strain for the new species for which we propose the name Blastococcus tunisiensis sp. nov.

An actinobacterial strain A23T, isolated from adult ant Camponotus vagus collected in Ryazan region (Russia) and established as tetracenomycin X producer, was subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. Morphological characteristics of this strain included well-branched substrate mycelium and aerial hyphae fragmented into rod-shaped elements. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene and genome sequences showed that strain A23T was most closely related to Amycolatopsis pretoriensis DSM 44654T. Average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values between the genome sequences of isolate A23T and its closest relative, Amycolatopsis pretoriensis DSM 44654T, were 39.5% and 88.6%, which were below the 70% and 95-96% cut-off point recommended for bacterial species demarcation, respectively. The genome size of the isolate A23T was 10,560,374 bp with a DNA G + C content of 71.2%. The whole-cell hydrolysate contained meso-diaminopimelic acid and arabinose and galactose as main diagnostic sugars as well as ribose and rhamnose. It contained MK-9(H4) as the predominant menaquinone and iso-C16:0, iso-C15:0, anteiso-C17:0 and C16:0 as the major cellular fatty acids. Diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine prevailed among phospholipids. Mycolic acids were not detected. Based on the phenotypic, genomic and phylogenetic data, isolate A23T represents a novel species of the genus Amycolatopsis, for which the name Amycolatopsis camponoti sp. nov. is proposed, and the type strain is A23T (= DSM 111725T = VKM 2882T).

A new strain belonging to the genus Kocuria, designed PT10, was isolated from irradiated roots of the xerophyte Panicum turgidum. Isolate PT10 is a Gram-positive, coccoid, aerobic and ionizing-radiation (IR)-resistant actinobacterium. PT10 has shown an ability to survive under extreme conditions, such as gamma irradiation, desiccation and high concentration of hydrogen peroxide. Phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and comparative genome analyses support the assignment of strain PT10 (LMG 31102 = DSM 108617) as Kocuria rhizophila. The complete genome sequence of PT10 consists of one chromosome (2,656,287 bps), with a 70.7% G + C content and comprises 2481 protein-coding sequences. A total of 1487 proteins were identified by LC-MS/MS profiling. In silico analyses revealed that the proteome of the oxidation-tolerant PT10 possesses several features explaining its IR-resistant phenotype and many adaptive pathways implicated in response to environmental pressures - desiccation, cold, reactive oxygen species and other stressors.

Isolate 4NS15T was isolated from a neglected arid habitat in Kerman, Iran. The strain showed 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 98.9â% to the type strains of Kibdelosporangium aridum subsp. aridum, Kibdelosporangium phytohabitans and Kibdelosporangium philippinense and 98.6â% to the type strain K. aridum subsp. largum, respectively. Genome-based phylogenetic analysis revealed that isolate 4NS15T is closely related to Kibdelosporangium aridum subsp. aridum DSM 43828T. The digital DNA-DNA hybridization value between the genome sequences of 4NS15T and strain DSM 43828T is 29.8â%. Strain 4NS15T produces long chains of spores without a sporangium-like structure which can be distinguished from other Kibdelosporangium species. Isolate 4NS15T has a genome size of 10.35 Mbp with a G+C content of 68.1 mol%. Whole-cell hydrolysates of isolate 4NS15T are rich in meso-diaminopimelic acid and cell-wall sugars such as arabinose, galactose, glucose and ribose. Major fatty acids (>10â%) are C16â:â0, iso-C16â:â0 and iso-C15â:â0. The phospholipid profile contains diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylhydroxyethanolamine, aminolipid and glycoaminolipid. The predominant menaquinone is MK-9(H4). Based on its phenotypic and genotypic characteristics, isolate 4NS15T (NCCB 100701=CIP 111705=DSM 110728) merits recognition as representing a novel species of the genus Kibdelosporangium, for which the name Kibdelosporangium persicum sp. nov. is proposed.

A novel strain of the genus Promicromonospora, designated PT9T, was recovered from irradiated roots of the xerophyte Panicum turgidum collected from the Ksar Ghilane oasis in southern Tunisia. Strain PT9T is aerobic, non-spore-forming, Gram- positive actinomycete that produces branched hyphae and forms white to yellowish-white colonies. Chemotaxonomic features, including fatty acids, whole cell sugars and polar lipid profiles, support the assignment of PT9T to the genus Promicromonospora. The genomic relatedness indexes based on DNA-DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity values revealed a significant genomic divergence between strain PT9T and all sequenced type strains of the taxon. Phylogenomic analysis showed that isolate PT9T was most closely related to Promicromonospora soli CGMCC 4.7398T. Phenotypic and phylogenomic analyses suggest that isolate PT9T represents a novel species of the genus Promicromonospora, for which the name Promicromonospora panici sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is PT9T (LMG 31103T = DSM 108613T).The isolate PT9T is an ionizing-radiation-resistant actinobacterium (D10 value = 2.6 kGy), with resistance to desiccation and hydrogen peroxide. The complete genome sequence of PT9T consists of 6,582,650 bps with 71.2% G+C content and 6291 protein-coding sequences. This genome will help to decipher the microbial genetic bases for ionizing-radiation resistance mechanisms including the response to oxidative stress.

A polyphasic study was designed to determine the taxonomic provenance of a strain, isolate PRKS01-29T, recovered from an Indonesian sand dune and provisionally assigned to the Streptomyces violaceusniger clade. Genomic, genotypic and phenotypic data confirmed this classification. The isolate formed an extensively branched substrate mycelium which carried aerial hyphae that differentiated into spiral chains of rugose ornamented spores, contained LL-as the wall diaminopimelic acid, MK-9 (H6, H8) as predominant isoprenologues, phosphatidylethanolamine as the diagnostic phospholipid and major proportions of saturated, iso- and anteiso- fatty acids. Whole-genome sequences generated for the isolate and Streptomyces albiflaviniger DSM 41598T and Streptomyces javensis DSM 41764T were compared with phylogenetically closely related strains, the isolate formed a branch within the S. violaceusniger clade in the resultant phylogenomic tree. Whole-genome sequences data showed that isolate PRKS01-29T was most closely related to the S. albiflaviniger strain but was distinguished from the latter and from other members of the clade using combinations of phenotypic properties and average nucleotide identity and digital DNA:DNA hybridization scores. Consequently, it is proposed that isolate PRKS01-29T (= CCMM B1303T = ICEBB-02T = NCIMB 15210T) should be classified in the genus Streptomyces as Streptomyces sabulosicollis sp. nov. It is also clear that streptomycetes which produce spiral chains of rugose ornamented spores form a well-defined monophyletic clade in the Streptomyces phylogenomic tree., the taxonomic status of which requires further study. The genome of the type strain of S. sabulosicollis contains biosynthetic gene clusters predicted to produce new natural products.
