Abstract

A 4-phenyl-3-butenoic acid-producing actinomycete, designated strain VK-A60, was isolated from a soil sample collected from Koyang, Korea. Morphological and chemical characteristics of the strain were consistent with those of the genus . The cell wall of the strain contains -diaminopimelic acid. The predominant fatty acids are anteiso-C, iso-C and C. The strain formed a distinct monophyletic line within the 16S rRNA gene sequence phylogenetic tree. Analyses of its morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics, together with random amplified polymorphic DNA and DNA–DNA relatedness data, confirmed that strain VK-A60 represents a novel taxon that is distinguishable from closely related reference strains. Strain VK-A60 (=KCCM 10555=NBRC 100598) is proposed as the type strain of a novel species, for which the name sp. nov. is proposed.
