M.YR 2006 T1 Goodfellowia gen. nov., a new genus of the Pseudonocardineae related to Actinoalloteichus, containing Goodfellowia coeruleoviolacea gen. nov., comb. nov. JF International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, VO 56 IS 6 SP 1203 OP 1207 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.64170-0 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1466-5034, AB During the course of a phylogenetic evaluation of Saccharothrix strains held in the ARS Culture Collection, it was discovered that Saccharothrix coeruleoviolacea NRRL B-24058T is unrelated to other species within this genus, and a polyphasic study was undertaken to clarify its taxonomic position. Strain NRRL B-24058T is observed to be phylogenetically separate from the genus Saccharothrix and is most closely related to the genus Actinoalloteichus. The strain exhibits chemotaxonomic properties that distinguish it from members of Actinoalloteichus, including a whole-cell sugar pattern consisting of galactose and ribose as diagnostic sugars, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylethanolamine containing 2-OH fatty acids and diphosphatidylglycerol as the predominant polar lipids and MK-9(H4) and MK-10(H4) as the only menaquinones observed. Strain NRRL B-24058T is distinct from other taxa within the suborder Pseudonocardineae and a new genus to be named Goodfellowia gen. nov. is proposed. The type species of this new genus is Goodfellowia coeruleoviolacea gen. nov., comb. nov., and the type strain is NRRL B-24058T (=DSM 43935T=INA 3564T=JCM 9110T=NBRC 14988T=VKM Ac-1083T)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.64170-0
