RESUMO
A Gram-stain positive, moderately thermophilic, aerobic, spore-forming and rod-shaped bacterium, designated YIM 73012T, was isolated from a sediment sample collected from a hot spring located in Tibet, China, and was characterized by using a polyphasic taxonomy approach. The strain is oxidase positive and catalase negative. Growth occurred at 37-65 °C (optimum, 45-50 °C), at pH 6.0-8.5 (optimum, pH 7.0-7.5) and with 0.5-3.5% NaCl (optimum, 0.5-1.0%, w/v). The major fatty acids were iso-C15:0, iso-C16:0 and C16:0. The major polar lipids comprised of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylmethylethanolamine and phosphatidylglycerol. The cell wall peptidoglycan contained meso-diaminopimelic acid. The respiratory quinone was MK-7. The G+C content of genomic DNA was 43.6 mol%. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the strain YIM 73012T forms a distinct lineage with respect to the genus Anoxybacillus in the family Bacillaceae. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence identities the closely related phylogenetic neighbours are Anoxybacillus caldiproteolyticus DSM 15730T (96.7%) and Saccharococcus thermophilus DSM 4749T (96.6%). Strain YIM 73012T was distinguishable from the closely related reference strains by the differences in phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and genotypic characteristics, and represents a novel species of the genus Anoxybacillus, for which the name Anoxybacillus sp. nov. is proposed. The type species is Anoxybacillus sediminis sp. nov., with the type strain YIM 73012T (= KCTC 33884T = DSM 103835T).

A Gram-stain-positive, aerobic and non-motile actinobacterial strain, designated YIM C0533T, was isolated from a soil sample collected from Shiling county, Yunnan province, south-west China. The isolate grew at 15-37 °C, pH 6.0-8.0 and in the presence of 0-3% (w/v) NaCl. The whole-cell hydrolysates contained meso-diaminopimelic acid, xylose, galactose, mannose, ribose, arabinose, glucose and rhamnose. The acyl type of muramic acid was glycolyl. The polar lipids detected were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylmethylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol mannoside and an unidentified phospholipid. The major cellular fatty acids were iso-C16:0, 10-methyl C17:0 and iso-C15 : 0.MK-9(H6) was the predominant menaquinone. The genomic DNA G+C content was determined to be 69.4âmol%. These chemotaxonomic data and the morphological properties were consistent with those of the genus Hamadaea. The strain showed highest sequence similarities to Hamadaea tsunoensis CGMCC 4.1403T on phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences and was found to form a coherent cluster in the neighbour-joining tree. The DNA-DNA hybridization experiment indicated that the DNA-DNA relatedness value between strain YIM C0533T and H. tsunoensis CGMCC 4.1403T was 34.4±1.3 %. In addition, the results of physiological and biochemical tests allowed the isolate to be differentiated phenotypically from H. tsunoensis CGMCC 4.1403T. On the basis of data from this polyphasic study, strain YIM C0533T is characterized as a novel species of the genus Hamadaea, for which the name Hamadaea flava sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YIM C0533T (=CPCC 204160T=KCTC 39591T=CGMCC 4.7289T). An emended description of the genus Hamadaea is also provided.

Studies on actinobacterial diversity in limestone habitats are scarce. This paper reports profiling of actinobacteria isolated from Hundung limestone samples in Manipur, India using ARDRA as the molecular tool for preliminary classification. A total of 137 actinobacteria were clustered into 31 phylotypic groups based on the ARDRA pattern generated and representative of each group was subjected to 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Generic diversity of the limestone isolates consisted of Streptomyces (15 phylotypic groups), Micromonospora (4), Amycolatopsis (3), Arthrobacter (3), Kitasatospora (2), Janibacter (1), Nocardia (1), Pseudonocardia (1) and Rhodococcus (1). Considering the antimicrobial potential of these actinobacteria, 19 showed antimicrobial activities against at least one of the bacterial and candidal test pathogens, while 45 exhibit biocontrol activities against at least one of the rice fungal pathogens. Out of the 137 actinobacterial isolates, 118 were found to have at least one of the three biosynthetic gene clusters (PKS-I, PKS-II, NRPS). The results indicate that 86% of the strains isolated from Hundung limestone deposit sites possessed biosynthetic gene clusters of which 40% exhibited antimicrobial activities. It can, therefore, be concluded that limestone habitat is a promising source for search of novel secondary metabolites.
