Streptomyces apricus sp. nov., isolated from soil
More LessA novel Streptomyces strain, SUN51T, was isolated from soils sampled in Wisconsin, USA, as part of a Streptomyces biogeography survey. Genome sequencing revealed that this strain had less than 90 % average nucleotide identity (ANI) to type species of Streptomyces : SUN51T was most closely related to Streptomyces dioscori A217T (99.5 % 16S rRNA gene identity, 89.4 % ANI). Genome size was estimated at 8.81 Mb, and the genome DNA G+C content was 72 mol%. The strain possessed the cellular fatty acids anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0, 16 : 1 ω7c, anteiso-C17 : 0, iso-C14 : 0 and C16 : 0. The predominant menaquinones were MK-9 H4, MK-9 H6 and MK-9 H8. Strain SUN51T contained the polar lipids phosphatidic acid, phosphatidyl ethanolamine, phosphatidyl glycerol and diphosphatidyl glycerol. The cell wall contained ll-diaminopimelic acid. The strain could grow on a broad range of carbon sources and tolerate temperatures of up to 40 °C. The results of the polyphasic study confirmed that this isolate represents a novel species of the genus Streptomyces , for which the name Streptomyces apricus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of this species is SUN51T (=NRRL B-65543T=JCM 33736T).

Streptomyces epipremni sp. nov., an endophytic actinomycete isolated from the root of Epipremnum aureum
An endophytic Streptomyces -like micro-organism, designated strain PRB2-1T was isolated from root tissue of Epipremnum aureum (Linden and André) G.S. Bunting. The typical morphological and chemotaxonomic characteristics, i.e. the ability to produce straight spore chains directly on aerial mycelium and the presence of ll-diaminopimelic acid in cell-wall peptidoglycan, were consistent with its assignment to the genus Streptomyces . 16S rRNA gene analysis showed that strain PRB2-1T is a member of the genus Streptomyces with the highest similarity to Streptomyces bryophytorum DSM 42183T (98.4 %). Moreover, the draft genome sequence of strain PRB2-1T exhibited low average nucleotide identity by blast (79.9–83.8 %) and digital DNA–DNA hybridization (24.9–28.3 %) values to the reference strains, which were well below the species circumscription threshold. The DNA G+C content of genomic DNA was 73.6 mol%. Comparison of phenotypic characteristics and whole-genome sequence between strain PRB2-1T and its close relatives indicated that strain PRB2-1T could be classified as a novel species of the genus Streptomyces . Thus the name, Streptomyces epipremni sp. nov. is proposed for the strain. The type strain is PRB2-1T (=TBRC 7642T=NBRC 113169T).

Nocardia coffeae sp. nov., an endophytic actinobacterium isolated from the root of Coffea arabica (L.)
The polyphasic taxonomic study of a novel endophytic actinobacterium strain (CA2R105T) was carried out. The strain formed fragmented substrate mycelium and showed chemotaxonomic properties typical of members of the genus Nocardia, i.e. the presence of mycolic acid and MK-8 (H4ω-cycl) in its cells. Strain CA2R105T exhibited the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Nocardia jiangxiensis NBRC 101359T (99.2%). The genome-based taxonomic analysis revealed low average nucleotide identity-blast and digital DNA–DNA hybridization values (<93.7, and <65.2%, respectively) to its closest relative. Moreover, many different phenotypic characteristics were observed between strain CA2R105T and all related Nocardia -type strains. This taxonomic evidence suggested that strain CA2R105T should be judged as representing a novel species of the genus Nocardia and the name, Nocardia coffeae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CA2R105T (=TBRC 11247T=NBRC 114292T).

The chemotaxonomic characteristics of strain NJ-Z5T, which had MK-9 (H2) as its predominant menaquinone and anteiso-C15:0 (58.5%), anteiso-C17:0 (9.9%) and iso-C16:0 (7.0%) as its major fatty acids, were consistent with classification in the genus Pseudarthrobacter . The polar lipid profile of strain NJ-Z5T comprised phosphatidylinositol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, three unidentified glycolipids and two unidentified phospholipids. The genome of strain NJ-Z5T was 4.57 Mbp with a G+C content of 67.1 mol%. Average nucleotide identity (ANI) values between strain NJ-Z5T and other species of the genus Pseudarthrobacter were found to be low (ANIm <86%, ANIb <80% and OrthoANIu <80 %). Furthermore, digital DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH) and average amino acid identity (AAI) values between strain NJ-Z5T and the closely related species ranged from 22.7 to 24.0% and from 75.5 to 77.2%, respectively. On the basis of its differential physiological properties, chemotaxonomic characteristics and low ANI, dDDH and AAI results, strain NJ-Z5T is considered to represent a novel species within the genus Pseudarthrobacter , for which the name Pseudarthrobacter albicanus sp. nov. is proposed.

Spiractinospora alimapuensis gen. nov., sp. nov., isolated from marine sediment of Valparaíso Bay (Chile) and proposal for reclassification of two species of the genus Nocardiopsis
An alkaliphilic actinobacterium, designated VN6-2T, was isolated from marine sediment collected from Valparaíso Bay, Chile. Strain VN6-2T formed yellowish-white branched substrate mycelium without fragmentation. Aerial mycelium was well developed, forming wavy or spiral spore chains. Strain VN6-2T exhibited a 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 93.9 % to Salinactinospora qingdaonensis CXB832T, 93.7 % to Murinocardiopsis flavida 14-Be-013T, and 93.7 % to Lipingzhangella halophila 14-Be-013T. Genome sequencing revealed a genome size of 5.9 Mb and an in silico G+C content of 69.3 mol%. Both of the phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and the up-to-date bacterial core gene sequences revealed that strain VN6-2T formed a distinct monophyletic clade within the family Nocardiopsaceae . Chemotaxonomic assessment of strain VN6-2T showed that the major fatty acids were iso-C16 : 0, anteiso-C17 : 0 and 10-methyl-C18 : 0, and the predominant respiratory quinones were MK-9, MK-9(H2) and MK-9(H4). Whole-cell hydrolysates contained meso-diaminopimelic acid as the cell-wall diamino acid, and ribose and xylose as the diagnostic sugars. The polar lipid profile consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, aminophospholipids, glycolipid and phospholipid. Based on the results of this polyphasic study, a novel genus, Spiractinospora gen. nov., is proposed within the family Nocardiopsaceae and the type species Spiractinospora alimapuensis gen. nov., sp. nov. The type strain is VN6-2T (CECT 30026T, CCUG 66258T). On the basis of the phylogenetic results herein, we also propose that Nocardiopsis arvandica and Nocardiopsis litoralis are later heterotypic synonyms of Nocardiopsis sinuspersici and Nocardiopsis kunsanensis , respectively, for which emended descriptions are given.

Streptomyces caniscabiei sp. nov., which causes potato common scab and is distributed across the world
More LessFourteen strains of Streptomyces isolated from scab lesions on potato are described as members of a novel species based on genetic distance, morphological observation and biochemical analyses. Morphological and biochemical characteristics of these strains are distinct from other described phytopathogenic species. Strain NE06-02DT has white aerial mycelium and grey, cylindrical, smooth spores on rectus-flexibilis spore chains. Members of this species group can utilize most of the International Streptomyces Project sugars, utilize melibiose and trehalose, produce melanin, grow on 6–7 % NaCl and pH 5–5.5 media, and are susceptible to oleandomycin (100 µg ml−1), streptomycin (20 µg ml−1) and penicillin G (30 µg ml−1). Though the 16S rRNA gene sequences from several members of this novel species are identical to the Streptomyces bottropensis 16S rRNA gene sequence, whole-genome average nucleotide identity and multi-locus sequence analysis confirm that the strains are members of a novel species. Strains belonging to this novel species have been isolated from the United States, Egypt and China with the earliest known members being isolated in 1961 from common scab lesions of potato in both California, USA, and Maine, USA. The name Streptomyces caniscabiei sp. nov. is proposed for strain NE06-02DT (=DSM111602T=ATCC TSD-236T) and the other members of this novel species group.

Halorubrum salinarum sp. nov., an extremely halophilic archaeon isolated from a saturated brine pond of a saltern
A novel extremely halophilic archaeon, strain RHB-CT, was isolated from a saturated brine pond of a solar saltern in Bolinao, Pangasinan, Philippines. Colonies were orange-red-pigmented, smooth, convex and round on a solid modified growth medium containing 25 % (w/v) of total salts. Cells of strain RHB-CT on the solid modified growth medium were ovoid-shaped (0.89–2.66 µm long), while the cells in a liquid modified growth medium were rod-shaped (1.53–5.65 µm long and 0.45–1.03 µm wide). The strain was Gram-stain-negative, motile and strictly aerobic. Strain RHB-CT grew with NaCl concentrations ranging from 10 to 30 % (w/v; optimum, 20–25 %), at pH 6.5–8.5 (optimum, pH 7.0–7.5) and at 20–55 °C (optimum, 40–45 °C). Furthermore, the strain grew even in the absence of Mg2+; however, when supplemented with Mg2+, growth was observed optimally at 0.2–0.4 M Mg2+. The 16S rRNA gene phylogeny inferred that the strain is a member of the genus Halorubrum and was related to Halorubrum xinjiangense CGMCC 1.3527T (99.0 %), Halorubrum sodomense DSM 3755T (98.8 %), Halorubrum coriense Ch2T (98.8 %), Halorubrum trapanicum NRC 34021T (98.4 %) and Halorubrum distributum JCM 9100T (98.1 %). The rpoB′ gene sequences also showed that strain RHB-CT is related to Hrr. xinjiangense JCM 12388T (97.1 %), Hrr. distributum JCM 9100T (97.1 %), Hrr. coriense JCM 9275T (96.5 %), Hrr. californiense JCM 14715T (96.5 %), Hrr. trapanicum JCM 10477T (96.3%), Hrr. sodomense JCM 8880T (96.2%) and Hrr. tebenquichense DSM 14210T (95.6 %). The DNA G+C content of strain RHB-CT was 68.7 mol% (genome). Digital DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH) and average nucleotide identity (ANI) values between strain RHB-CT and the closely related species of Halorubrum were below 40 and 90 %, respectively, which are far below the thresholds to delineate a new species. The polar lipids of strain RHB-CT were phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol phosphate methyl ester, phosphatidylglycerol sulphate and sulfated mannosyl glycosyl diether. Based on dDDH and ANI values, and the significant morphological and physiological differences from known taxa, it is hereby suggested that strain RHB-CT represents a novel species of the genus Halorubrum , for which the name Halorubrum salinarum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is RHB-CT (=KCTC 4274T=CMS 2103T).

More LessTwo Gram-stain-negative, catalase- and oxidase-positive, rod-shaped and non-motile strains (LM13ST and JZCK2T) were isolated from hypersaline lakes in China. The colonies of both strains were yellow-pigmented and convex. Both strains could grow at 4–34 °C, pH 6.5–9.0 and with 1.0–13.0 % (w/v) NaCl. Comparisons based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strains LM13ST and JZCK2T share less than 98.3 % similarity with species of the genus Salegentibacter . The phylogenetic tree reconstructed based on 16S rRNA gene sequences also showed that Salegentibacter species are the most closely related neighbours of strains LM13ST and JZCK2T. The sequenced draft genome sizes of strains LM13ST and JZCK2T are 4.06 and 4.22 Mbp with G+C contents of 37.0 and 37.8 mol%, respectively. The phylogenomic tree reconstructed using the Up-to-date Bacterial Core Gene set pipeline also demonstrated that both strains belong to the genus Salegentibacter . The calculated pairwise average nucleotide identity values and digital DNA–DNA hybridization values between strains LM13ST and JZCK2T and Salegentibacter species were less than 86.4 and 32.0 %, respectively. The respiratory quinone in both strains was MK-6. Their major fatty acids were iso-C12 : 0, iso-C14 : 0, C15 : 1 ω10c, iso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 and C17 : 1 ω10c.

The predominant cellular fatty acids were summed feature 9 (C16 : 0 10-methyl and/or iso-C17 : 1 ω9c) and iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0. The DNA G+C content was 68.2 mol%. The average nucleotide identity and in silico DNA–DNA hybridization relatedness values between strain II4T and its closely related genus members with possible full genome sequences were ≤79.6 and 23.7 %, respectively. Based on genomic, chemotaxonomic, phenotypic and phylogenetic data, strain II4T represents novel species in the genus Lysobacter , for which the name Lyobacter terrestris sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is II4T (=KACC 21196T=NBRC 113956T).
