Abstract

The taxonomic position of an actinomycete isolated from deep-sea sediment from the Indian Ocean was determined by using a polyphasic approach. The presence of iso-C, anteiso-C, iso-C, iso-C and anteiso-C as the major cellular fatty acids, -diaminopimelic acid as the characteristic diamino acid, and MK-9(H, H and H) as the major menaquinones supported the affiliation of strain IH32-1 to the genus . Comparison of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain IH32-1 exhibited highest similarities to the type strains of (97.6 %) and (97.6 %). However, DNA–DNA relatedness values between strain IH32-1 and the type strains of . and . were determined as 55.2±4.7 and 38.3±2.5 %, respectively. Based on its chemotaxonomic, phenotypic and genotypic characteristics, strain IH32-1 is considered to represent a novel species in the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is IH32-1 ( = DSM 42001 = CGMCC 4.5727).
