RT Journal Article SR Electronic(1) A1 Tamura, Tomohiko A1 Sakane, TakeshiYR 2004 T1 Planotetraspora silvatica sp. nov. and emended description of the genus Planotetraspora JF International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, VO 54 IS 6 SP 2053 OP 2056 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.02981-0 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1466-5034, AB An actinomycete that developed sporangia containing four spores in a single row at the ends of short sporangiophores on branched aerial hyphae was isolated from subtropical forest soil. The isolate contained menaquinone MK-9(H4), glutamic acid, alanine and meso-diaminopimelic acid as cell-wall amino acids and madurose in the whole-cell hydrolysate. The 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that the isolate formed a monophyletic cluster with Planotetraspora mira. On the basis of morphological and chemotaxonomic characteristics, phylogenetic analysis and DNA–DNA relatedness data, a novel species of the genus Planotetraspora is proposed, Planotetraspora silvatica sp. nov. (type strain, TT 00-51T=NBRC 100141T=DSM 44746T)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.02981-0
