Abstract

Two strains of nocardioform actinomycetes, isolated from soil and plant litter in Yamanashi prefecture, Japan, showed substrate mycelium with purple to dark-red colours. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that the organisms belonged to the family and were related closely to strains (96.7–98.0 % sequence similarity). The isolates contained MK-9(H) as the predominant menaquinone, -diaminopimelic acid, galactose as the diagnostic whole-cell sugar and phosphatidylethanolamine as the predominant polar lipid. Based on a combination of cultural, physiological and chemotaxonomic properties, in addition to the phylogenetic analysis and DNA–DNA hybridization data, we propose a novel species, sp. nov., for these strains, with the type strain YU 692-1 (=NBRC 102064 =KCTC 19326).
