Abstract

In the course of phylogenetic analyses of the taxa within the suborder Pseudonocardineae, it was observed that Saccharothrix tangerinus MK27-91F2T was misplaced in the genus Saccharothrix. After a detailed examination of nucleotide signatures in the 16S rRNA gene sequence along with the morphological and chemotaxonomic characteristics of this strain, which are different from those of all species of Saccharothrix as well as the other genera within the suborder, it was concluded that this strain represents a new genus, for which the name Umezawaea gen. nov. is proposed. Pseudosporangia are produced on the aerial mycelium, the whole-cell sugar pattern consists of galactose, mannose and ribose, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol and lyso-phosphatidylethanolamine are the predominant phospholipids and MK-9(H4) is the predominant menaquinone. The type species of the proposed new genus is Umezawaea tangerina gen. nov., comb. nov., with the type strain MK27-91F2T (=NRRL B-24463T =DSM 44720T =FERM P-16053T =JCM 10302T =NBRC 16184T).
