Actinomycete Strain

An actinomycete, strain FXJ46T, was isolated from cypress forest soil in northern China and shown to have chemotaxonomic and morphological properties consistent with streptomycetes. It developed greyish aerial mycelium and pinkish-brown substrate mycelium on oatmeal agar. Phylogenetic analyses based on an almost complete 16S rRNA gene sequence of the strain and on the 120 nucleotide variable γ-region of this molecule showed that it formed a distinct (but closely associated) line with Streptomyces griseoaurantiacus DSM 40430T in Streptomyces trees. However, the DNA–DNA relatedness between the two strains was only 48·8 %. A number of phenotypic properties also readily distinguished the isolate from S. griseoaurantiacus and related Streptomyces species with validly published names. It is proposed, therefore, that this organism be classified as a novel species of the genus Streptomyces, for which the name Streptomyces jietaisiensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is FXJ46T (=AS 4.1859T=JCM 12279T).

Actinomycete Strain

A novel actinomycete, strain N3-7T, was isolated from a natural cave in Jeju, Republic of Korea, using a dilution method and was subjected to characterization using polyphasic taxonomy. A 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that the organism belonged to the phylogenetic cluster of the genus Actinocorallia and was most closely related to Actinocorallia glomerata and Actinocorallia longicatena (97.6 and 97.5 % similarity, respectively). The main chemotaxonomic properties of strain N3-7T, such as the principal amino acid of the peptidoglycan, the predominant menaquinone and the polar lipid profile, supported classification in the genus Actinocorallia. The organism was readily differentiated from Actinocorallia species with validly published names on the basis of a broad range of phenotypic properties. Thus the isolate represents a novel species of the genus Actinocorallia, for which the name Actinocorallia cavernae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is strain N3-7T (=JCM 13278T=NRRL B-24429T).

Taxonomic Approach

An actinomycete strain, HM7T, was isolated from sandy soil from the banks of the Arvand River, Khoramshahr, Iran. In a study conducted using a polyphasic taxonomic approach, it was found that this strain represented a novel species in the genus Nocardiopsis. Strain HM7T had long, branched substrate mycelia and the aerial mycelium completely fragmented to long chains of rod-shaped spores. The cell wall of strain HM7T contained meso-diaminopimelic acid, galactose and ribose. The predominant phospholipids were phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine diphosphatidylglycerol, and phosphatidylcholine. The main menaquinones were MK-10(H2), MK-10(H4), MK-10(H0) and MK-9(H2). Strain HM7T showed the highest degree of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Nocardiopsis sinuspersici UTMC 00102T (99.8 %) and Nocardiopsis quinghaiensis YIM 28A4T (99.3 %), but differed significantly from these type strains based on DNA–DNA hybridization data (37.6 and 38.9 % relatedness, respectively). Physiological, biochemical and phenotypic characteristics allowed strain HM7T to be differentiated from related species. On the basis of results from phenotypic and phylogenetic analyses, strain HM7T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Nocardiopsis, for which the name Nocardiopsis arvandica sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain of this species is HM7T ( = UTMC 00103T = DSM 45278T = CCUG 58831T).

The taxonomic position of an actinomycete isolated from a brown hypermagnesian ultramafic soil was examined using a polyphasic approach. The organism, which was designated SBHS Strp1T, was found to have chemical and morphological properties typical of Amycolatopsis strains. It was most closely associated with Amycolatopsis kentuckyensis, Amycolatopsis lexingtonensis, Amycolatopsis rifamycinica, Amycolatopsis pretoriensis and Amycolatopsis tolypomycina on the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence data, and showed a unique pattern of phenotypic properties that distinguished it from the type strains of these taxa. The combined genotypic and phenotypic data show that the organism merits description as a novel species of Amycolatopsis. The name proposed for the novel species is Amycolatopsis plumensis sp. nov.; the type strain is SBHS Strp1T (=DSM 44776T=NRRL B-24324T).

A Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming bacterial strain, BDR-9T, was isolated from soil collected from Boryung on the west coast of the Korean peninsula, and its taxonomic position was investigated by using a polyphasic study. Strain BDR-9T grew optimally at 25 °C, at pH 6.0–7.5 and in the absence of NaCl. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain BDR-9T fell within the clade comprising species of the genus Mucilaginibacter within the phylum Bacteroidetes. 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values between strain BDR-9T and the type strains of species of the genus Mucilaginibacter were in the range 94.0–95.6 %. Strain BDR-9T contained MK-7 as the predominant menaquinone and iso-C15 : 0 and C16 : 1ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH as the major fatty acids. The DNA G+C content was 44.3 mol%. Differential phenotypic properties and phylogenetic distinctiveness of strain BDR-9T demonstrated that this strain is distinguishable from species of the genus Mucilaginibacter. On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data, strain BDR-9T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Mucilaginibacter, for which the name Mucilaginibacter boryungensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is BDR-9T ( = KCTC 23157T  = CCUG 59599T).

A novel actinomycete, strain SST-8T, was isolated from sand sediment of Samyang Beach in Jeju, Korea, and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. The organism, which produced opaque, circular, yellow colonies, with a coryneform morphology, showed the following chemotaxonomic characteristics: meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diamino acid in the peptidoglycan, MK-8(H2) as the major menaquinone, phosphatidylglycerol as the only polar lipid, anteiso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0 as major fatty acids and a DNA G+C content of 70.7 mol%. The combination of morphological and chemotaxonomic features supported its classification in the genus Brevibacterium. Phylogenetic analyses, based on 16S rRNA gene sequence studies, showed that strain SST-8T formed an intermediate branch between the Brevibacterium luteolum/Brevibacterium otitidis and Brevibacterium mcbrellneri/Brevibacterium paucivorans clusters. Sequence similarity calculations based on a neighbour-joining analysis revealed that the closest relatives of strain SST-8T were the type strains of B. paucivorans (96.6 %), B. luteolum (96.5 %), B. mcbrellneri (96.3 %), Brevibacterium avium (96.0 %) and B. otitidis (95.9 %). Based on a broad set of phenotypic and genetic data, it was evident that the strain represents a novel species of the genus Brevibacterium. The name Brevibacterium samyangense sp. nov. is proposed, with SST-8T (=NRRL B-41420T=KCCM 42316T) as the type strain.

A Gram-negative, rod-shaped, Stenotrophomonas-like bacterial strain, DS-16T, was isolated from soil from Dokdo, Korea, and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. Strain DS-16T grew optimally at pH 6.0–7.0 and 30 °C in the presence of 0.5 % (w/v) NaCl. It contained Q-8 as the predominant ubiquinone and iso-C16 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C17 : 1 ω9c as the major fatty acids. The DNA G+C content was 65.1 mol%. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain DS-16T joined the cluster comprising Stenotrophomonas species. The levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between strain DS-16T and the type strains of Stenotrophomonas species ranged from 95.5 to 97.5 %. DNA–DNA relatedness data and differential phenotypic properties, together with the phylogenetic distinctiveness of strain DS-16T, demonstrated that this novel strain differs from Stenotrophomonas species with validly published names. On the basis of phenotypic, phylogenetic and genetic data, strain DS-16T (=KCTC 12543T=CIP 108839T) should be classified in the genus Stenotrophomonas as a member of a novel species, for which the name Stenotrophomonas dokdonensis sp. nov. is proposed.

Actinomycete Strain

A thermophilic actinomycete, strain LA5T, was isolated from a hot spring in Yunnan province, People's Republic of China. The isolate grew aerobically at temperatures of 50–75 °C. Aerobic mycelia were not observed. Single spores were produced along the substrate hypha. Strain LA5T was characterized chemotaxonomically by having MK-7 as the predominant menaquinone and iso-C17 : 0 (27.7 %) and C16 : 0 (22.4 %) as the major fatty acids. The cell wall contained meso-diaminopimelic acid. The DNA G+C content was 56.8 mol%. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain LA5T belongs to the genus Planifilum. Levels of DNA–DNA relatedness between strain LA5T and Planifilum fimeticola H0165T and Planifilum fulgidum 500275T were 43.6 and 52.7 %, respectively. On the basis of phenotypic properties and phylogeny, strain LA5T represents a novel species of the genus Planifilum, for which we propose the name Planifilum yunnanense sp. nov., with the type strain LA5T (=CCTCC AA206002T=KCTC 13052T).

A Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, non-gliding, yellow-pigmented and rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated GSW-R14T, was isolated from seawater of Geoje Island in the South Sea, Korea. Strain GSW-R14T grew optimally at 25 °C, at pH 7.0–8.0 and in the presence of 2 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain GSW-R14T belonged to the genus Flavobacterium, joining Flavobacterium gelidilacus LMG 21477T by a bootstrap resampling value of 100 %. Strain GSW-R14T exhibited 97.6 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to F. gelidilacus LMG 21477T and similarities of 91.2–95.2 % to other members of the genus Flavobacterium. Strain GSW-R14T contained MK-6 as the predominant menaquinone. The fatty acid profile of strain GSW-R14T was similar to that of F. gelidilacus LMG 21477T. The DNA G+C content of strain GSW-R14T was 31.4 mol% and its DNA–DNA relatedness with F. gelidilacus LMG 21477T was 31 %. Strain GSW-R14T could be distinguished from F. gelidilacus and the other species of the genus Flavobacterium by its phylogenetic and genetic distinctiveness and by several phenotypic properties. On the basis of these data, strain GSW-R14T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Flavobacterium, for which the name Flavobacterium ponti sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is GSW-R14T (=KCTC 22802T =CCUG 58402T).
