Abstract

A novel thermophilic actinomycete, designated AG2-7, was isolated from mushroom residue compost in Guangxi University, Nanning, China. The strain grew optimally at 45–60 °C, at pH 7.0 and with 0–3.0 % (w/v) NaCl. Vegetative mycelia were branched and whitish to pale yellow without fragmentation. Aerial mycelium was abundant, whitish and differentiated into long chains of spores, with a membranous structure or tunica partially covering the surface of aerial hyphae. The non-motile spores were oval in shape with a ridged surface. Strain AG-27 contained -diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid, and the whole-cell sugars were galactose and ribose. Major fatty acids were iso-C (27.51 %), iso-C (10.47 %) and anteiso-C (12.01 %). MK-9(H) was the predominant menaquinone. The polar phospholipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, ninhydrin-positive glycophospholipid, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol mannoside, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylmethylethanolamine, an unknown phospholipid and unknown glucosamine-containing phospholipids. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 63.6 mol%. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that the organism belonged to the family , suborder and showed more than 5 % divergence from other members of the family. Based on the phenotypic and phylogenetic data, strain AG2-7 represents a novel species of a new genus in the family , for which the name gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the type species is AG2-7 ( = ATCC BAA-2499 = CGMCC 4.7099).
