sp. nov., an actinobacterium isolated from sea sediment, and emended description of the genus Free

Abstract

A novel Gram-staining-positive actinobacterium, designated H85-3, was isolated from a sea sediment sample and its taxonomic position was investigated by a polyphasic approach. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons revealed that strain H85-3 was closely related to the members of the genus with pairwise sequence similarities of 97.4–98.6 %. The peptidoglycan of strain H85-3 was found to be of the A4α type with lysine as the diagnostic diamino acid. The menaquinones were MK-9, MK-10 and MK-8 (56 : 30 : 14) and the major cellular fatty acids were anteiso-C, iso-C and anteiso-C. These data supported the affiliation of strain H85-3 to the genus . Meanwhile, the results of DNA–DNA hybridization, along with the differences in some phenotypic characteristics, indicated that strain H85-3 should be distinguished from the recognized species of the genus . Therefore, strain H85-3 represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is H85-3 ( = NBRC 109021 = DSM 26152). An emended description of the genus is also proposed.
