RESUMO
A novel actinomycete strain, designated VRC122T, was isolated from a Callistemon citrinus rhizosphere sample collected from New Delhi, India, and its taxonomic status was determined by using a polyphasic approach. Strain VRC122T was a Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, non-motile, non-acid-alcohol-fast strain. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed the strain was placed in a well-separated sub-branch within the genus Saccharopolyspora. The highest levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity were found with Saccharopolyspora hirsuta subsp. kobensis JCM 9109T (98.71%), Saccharopolyspora antimicrobica I05-00074T (98.69%) and Saccharopolyspora jiangxiensis W12T (98.66%); 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities with type strains of all other species of the genus Saccharopolyspora were below 98%. Chemosystematic studies revealed that it contained meso-diaminopimelic acid. Arabinose and galactose were the predominant whole-cell sugars. Diagnostic polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylcholine. MK-9(H6) was the predominant menaquinone. C14:0, C16:0, iso-C15:0, iso-C16:0, iso-C17:0, anteiso-C15:0, anteiso-C17:0, C17:0 cyclo and summed feature 3 (C16:1ω7c and/or C16:1ω6c) were the major cellular fatty acids. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 69.5 mol%. The results of DNA-DNA hybridization (30%, 22% and 25%, respectively) with type strains of the above-mentioned species, in combination with differences in physiological and biochemical data supported that strain VRC122T represents a novel species of the genus Saccharopolyspora, for which the name Saccharopolyspora indica sp. nov., is proposed. The type strain is VRC122T (=KCTC 29208T=MTCC 11564T=MCC 2206T=ATCC BAA-2551T).

A novel actinomycete strain, designated VRC07(T), was isolated from a Callistemon citrinus rhizosphere sample collected from Hyderabad, India. Its taxonomic status was determined by using polyphasic approach. It is a Gram-positive, aerobic, non-motile, weakly acid-fast strain. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that strain VRC07(T) is a member of the genus Nocardia. The highest levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity was found between the strains Nocardia niwae W9241(T) (99.6 %), Nocardia amikacinitolerans W9988(T) (99.3 %) and Nocardia arthritidis IFM 10035(T) (98.9 %); similarity to other type strains of the genus Nocardia was below 98.7 %. The organism had chemical and morphological features consistent with its classification in the genus Nocardia such as meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid in the cell wall peptidoglycan. Arabinose and galactose as the diagnostic sugars. Diagnostic polar lipids were phosphatidylinositol, diphosphatidylglycerol, and phosphatidylglycerol. The predominant menaquinone was MK-8(H4, ω-cycl). The major fatty acids were C16:0, C18:0, C18:1 w9c, C18:0 10-methyl TBSA and sum in feature 3 (16:1 w7c/16:1 w6c). The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 68.5 mol%. The DNA-DNA relatedness data, together with phenotypic differences clearly distinguished the isolate from its closest relatives. On the basis of these phenotypic and genotypic data, the isolate represents a novel species, for which the name Nocardia bhagyanesis sp. nov., is proposed. The type strain is VRC07(T) (=KCTC 29209(T) = MTCC 11725(T) = ATCC BAA-2548).
