Abstract

A novel streptomycete, strain 594, isolated from Brazilian soil collected under cerrado (savanna) vegetation cover is described. Strain 594 produced thermophilic chitinolytic proteases in assays containing feather meal and corn steep liquor as sole sources of carbon and nitrogen. The strain produced white to grey aerial mycelium and spiral chains of spiny-surfaced spores on the aerial mycelium and did not produce diffusible pigments. The -isomer of diaminopimelic acid was present in the cell wall and menaquinones were predominantly MK-9(H6) (52 %) and MK-9(H8) (30 %) with 6 % MK-9(H4) and slightly less than 1 % MK-9(H2). Polar lipids present were phosphatidylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol and an unknown phospholipid. The major fatty acids were anteiso-C, anteiso-C, anteiso-C and anteiso-C. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 70.4 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis of the nearly complete 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that it differed from described species. Multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) using five housekeeping genes (, , , and ) comparing type strains showed that the MLSA distance of strain 594 to the most closely related species was greater than the 0.007 threshold. The DNA–DNA relatedness between the genome sequence of strain 594 and that of the phylogenetically nearest species was well below the species level recommendation. There was thus multiple evidence justifying the description of this strain as representing a novel species, for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 594 (=IMPPG 594=DSM 41949=NRRL B-24891).
