Abstract
A novel actinobacterium, designated KC 17012T, was isolated from lead zinc tailings collected from Lanping, Yunnan, PR China. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequencing showed that KC 17012T belonged to the genus Streptomyces and was most closely related to the type strains of Streptomyces neyagawaensis (98.34%), Streptomyces panaciradicis (98.34%) and Streptomyces heilongjiangensis (98.27%). Phylogenetic tree analysis revealed strain KC 17012T formed a distinct clade. The genome size was 8.64 Mbp with a DNA G+C content of 70.8%. Digital DNA–DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity values between the genome sequence of strain KC 17012T and those of S. neyagawaensis JCM 4796T (25.3 and 81.5 %) and S. panaciradicis NBRC 109811T (30.1 and 85.7 %) were below the thresholds of 70 and 96% for prokaryotic conspecific assignation. The strain formed long straight aerial hyphae which generated regular short rod spores with spiny surfaces. Growth occurred at 10–45 °C, pH 6–8 and with 0–9 % NaCl (w/v). Strain KC 17012T contained ll-diaminopimelic acid and the major whole-cell hydrolysates included glucose, mannose and ribose. The menaquinones were MK-9(H4), MK-9(H6) and MK-9(H8). The major cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0. The polar lipid profile consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol mannoside, one unidentified lipid and one unidentified phospholipid. On the basis of the results of a polyphasic taxonomic study, it is concluded that KC 17012T represents a novel species of the genus Streptomyces , for which the name Streptomyces plumbidurans sp. nov., is proposed. The type strain is KC 17012T (CGMCC 4.7704T=JCM 35204T).
