A novel actinobacterium, designated strain NJ2035T, was isolated from soil collected from Abuja, Nigeria and was characterized to determine its taxonomic position. The isolate was found to have chemical and morphological properties associated with members of the genus Lechevalieria . Phylogenetic analyses based on almost-complete 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the isolate was closely related to members of the genus Lechevalieria , and was shown to form a distinct phyletic line in the Lechevalieria phylogenetic tree. Strain NJ2035T was most closely related to Lechevalieria roselyniae C81T, Lechevalieria atacamensis C61T and Lechevalieria deserti C68T (98.5 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity). Sequence similarities with other members of the genus Lechevalieria were less than 98.2 %. The cell wall of the novel strain contained meso-diaminopimelic acid, and galactose, mannose and rhamnose as the diagnostic sugars. The predominant menaquinone was MK-9(H4). The polar lipids detected were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylinositol. DNA–DNA relatedness and phenotypic data showed that the novel isolate and L. roselyniae C81T, L. atacamensis C61T and L. deserti C68T belong to distinct genomic species. On the basis of data from this taxonomic study using a polyphasic approach, strain NJ2035T represents a novel species of the genus Lechevalieria , for which the name Lechevalieria nigeriaca sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NJ2035T ( = DSM 45680T = KCTC 29057T = NRRL B-24881T).

A novel marine actinomycete, designated strain KJ-029T, was isolated from a marine sediment sample (water depth of 226 m) in Kagoshima, Japan. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that the new isolate was most closely related to Micromonospora craniellae LHW 63014T (99.3 % similarity). Phylogenetic analyses of the genus Micromonospora based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain KJ-029T was clustered with Micromonospora craniellae LHW 63014T and Micromonospora endophytica 202201T. However, digital DNA–DNA hybridization analyses presented low levels of relatedness in the range of 24.8–32.9 % between strain KJ-029T and the above closely related strains. The novel strain contained meso-diaminopimelic acid and 3-OH-diaminopimelic acid, d-glutamic acid, glycine and d-alanine in the cell-wall peptidoglycan. The acyl type of the peptidoglycan was glycolyl and mycolic acids were absent. The major menaquinone was MK-9(H4). The whole-cell sugars consisted of glucose, mannose, xylose and ribose. Phosphatidylethanolamine was detected as the major phospholipid and corresponded to phospholipid type II. The predominant cellular fatty acid was iso-C16 : 0. The DNA G+C content of the genomic DNA was 71.5 mol%. Based on the present polyphasic study, strain KJ-029T represents a novel species of the genus Micromonospora , for which the name Micromonospora pelagivivens sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is KJ-029T (=NBRC 113519T=TBRC 9233T).

A Gram-reaction-positive, strictly aerobic, catalase-positive, oxidase-negative, non-motile actinobacterium, designated C1-24T, was isolated from a soil sample collected inside a natural cave. The organism exhibited a rod–coccus developmental cycle during its growth phase. Results of 16S rRNA gene-based phylogenetic analysis showed that the novel strain belonged to the genus Rhodococcus and formed a distinct sublineage at the base of the radiation including a Rhodococcus enclensis–Rhodococcus kroppenstedtii–Rhodococcus corynebacterioides–Rhodococcus trifoli cluster. In the results of phylogenomic analysis, the novel strain was loosely associated to Rhodococcus corynebacterioides . The closest relatives were Rhodococcus qingshengii (98.01 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) and Rhodococcus degradans (98.01 %). The genome size was 5.66 Mbp and the DNA G+C content was 64.30 mol%. Whole-cell hydrolysates contained meso-diaminopimelic acid, arabinose and galactose as the diagnostic diamino acid and sugars. MK-8(H2) was the predominant menaquinone. The polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, an unidentified glycolipid and three unidentified phospholipids. Mycolic acids were present. The major fatty acids were C16 : 0, C18 : 1  ω9c, C16 : 1  ω7c and/or C16 : 1  ω6c and 10-methyl C18 : 0. Digital DNA–DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity values revealed that the novel strain should be assigned to a different species. Based on the combined data obtained here, strain C1-24T (=KACC 19964T=DSM 109484T) represents a new species of the genus Rhodococcus , for which Rhodococcus cavernicola sp. nov. is proposed. Also, it is proposed that R. degradans is a later heterosynonym of R. qingshengii based on analyses of 16S rRNA gene and whole-genome sequences.
