Abstract

An actinomycete strain was recovered from a pond where radon is known to be dissolved. A polyphasic study was undertaken to identify the new isolate. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain WA201 showed closest similarity to the type strains of (98·5 %) and (98·1 %). The chemotaxonomic results confirmed the taxonomic position of the isolate in the genus . DNA–DNA relatedness values supported the classification of this isolate as a novel species. A number of physiological and biochemical tests were able to distinguish strain WA201 from its closest phylogenetic neighbours. Therefore, it is proposed that isolate WA201 (=DSM 44830=LMG 22229) be considered the type strain representing a novel species, sp. nov.
