Abstract

The taxonomic position of a staurosporine-producing actinomycete isolated from a hay meadow soil was determined using a polyphasic approach. The organism had chemical and morphological characteristics consistent with its classification in the genus and formed a distinct branch between the and clades in the 16S rRNA gene tree. DNA–DNA relatedness values between the isolate and its nearest phylogenetic neighbours, namely NBRC 13058 and NBRC 12754, were 53 % and 40 %, respectively. The isolate was also readily distinguished from the type strains of these species using a combination of morphological and other phenotypic properties. On the basis of these results, it is proposed that isolate BK179 ( = KACC 20912  = NRRL B-24850) be classified as the type strain of sp. nov.
