A moderately halophilic actinomycete was isolated from a soil sample obtained from Death Valley, Calif. The morphological and chemical properties of the isolate conform to the characteristics of the genus Actinopolyspora, which until now has contained a single species, Actinopolyspora halophila. Our isolate can be distinguished from A. halophila on the basis of physiological and biochemical properties and DNA relatedness data. Therefore, we propose a new species for this strain, Actinopolyspora mortivallis; the type strain is strain HS-1 (= JCM 7550).
