A novel strain belonging to the genus Promicromonospora , designated HM 533T, was isolated from soil in Kerman Province, Iran. It produced long and branched hyphae on ISP 2 medium that developed into a large number of irregular-shaped spores. It showed optimal growth at 25–30 °C and pH 5.0–8.0 with 0–4 % (w/v) NaCl. The peptidoglycan type of strain HM 533T was A4α l-Lys–l-Ala–d-Glu. Whole-cell hydrolysates of strain HM 533T contained the sugars ribose, glucose and galactose. The main phospholipids were phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, two unknown glycolipids and an unknown phospholipid. MK-9(H4) and MK-9(H2) were the predominant menaquinones. The fatty acids pattern was mainly composed of the saturated branched-chain acids anteiso-C15 : 0 and iso-C15 : 0. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed the highest pairwise sequence identity (99.5–97.1 %) with the members of the genus Promicromonospora . Based on phenotypic and genotypic features, strain HM 533T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Promicromonospora , for which the name Promicromonospora kermanensis is proposed with strain HM 533T (=DSM 45485T=UTMC 00533T=CECT 8709T) as the type strain.
