gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel member of the family Free

Abstract

An actinobacterium, designated strain 44C3, was isolated in Michigan, USA, from the hindgut of the larvae of , an aquatic crane fly, and was subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic investigation. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the strain represented a separate clade within the family . It showed highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with 0549 (96.5 %). Strain 44C3 had a novel B-type peptidoglycan. The peptidoglycan contained the diamino acid lysine, the peptide Gly–-Glu was detected in the partial hydrolysate and alanine was the N terminus of the interpeptide bridge. No other amino acids found in other B-type peptidoglycans (including diaminobutyric acid, ornithine, homoserine and hydroxyglutamic acid) could be detected. The major menaquinones were MK-12 and MK-11, the major fatty acids were ai-C, ai-C and i-C and the DNA G+C content was 60.9 mol%. Analysis of the chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data suggested that strain 44C3 represented a novel species of a new genus within the family , for which the name gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of is 44C3 (=DSM 18031 =ATCC BAA-1524).
