And Chemical Properties

Two novel actinomycete strains, KV-744T and KV-856, were isolated by long-term cultivation. Aerial long-chain spores were produced directly from vegetative mycelia and possessed no motility. Vegetative mycelia developed very well and exhibited fragmentation. The cell-wall peptidoglycan contained meso-diaminopimelic acid, glycine, alanine and glutamic acid, and whole-cell hydrolysates contained arabinose, galactose and xylose. The acyl type of the peptidoglycan was glycolyl. The predominant menaquinone was MK-9(H4) and mycolic acids were not detected. The diagnostic phospholipid was phosphatidylethanolamine. The predominant cellular fatty acids were 14-methylhexadecanoic (ai-C17 : 0), 14-methylpentadecanoic (i-C16 : 0), 15-methylhexadecanoic (i-C17 : 0) and 13-methyltetradecanoic (i-C15 : 0) acids. The G+C content of the DNA was 72–73 mol%. The phenotypic and chemical properties indicated that the two isolates belong to the family Micromonosporaceae and the 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis suggested that the closest relationship was with Actinocatenispora thailandica. The DNA–DNA hybridization values between strain KV-744T or KV-856 and A. thailandica TT2-10T were 42–53 %. Based on the data above, strains KV-744T and KV-856 should be classified as representing a novel species of the genus Actinocatenispora, for which the name Actinocatenispora sera sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is KV-744T (=NRRL B-24477T=NBRC 101916T).

And Chemical Properties

Four Gram-positive, non-motile, aerobic actinobacteria were isolated from spiders and their webs. Their genetic, phenotypic and chemical properties were studied. The 16S rRNA gene sequence data suggested that the four novel isolates belonged to the genus Friedmanniella. Two strains (FA1T and FA2T) formed a cluster together with Friedmanniella capsulata and Friedmanniella lacustris and the other two strains (FB1T and FB2T) formed a cluster together with Friedmanniella antarctica and Friedmanniella spumicola. The cell-wall peptidoglycan contained ll-A2pm and mycolic acids were absent. Isoprenoid quinones were mainly composed of MK-9(H4), MK-9(H2) and MK-9 and the predominant fatty acids were 12-methyltetradecanoic acid (ai-C15 : 0) and 13-methyltetradecanoic acid (i-C15 : 0). The major polar lipids were phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylglycerol. In addition, strain FA1T, FB1T, and FB2T contained diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylcholine. The DNA G+C contents were: 72 mol%, 73 mol%, 74 mol% and 75 mol% for strains FA1T, FA2T, FB1T, and FB2T, respectively. DNA–DNA hybridization studies demonstrated that the novel strains showed low relatedness values to F. capsulata, F. lacustris, F. antarctica and F. spumicola. These data support the proposal that strains FA1T, FA2T, FB1T and FB2T represent novel species of the genus Friedmanniella. Therefore, the names Friedmanniella luteola (type strain FA1T=DSM 21741T=NBRC 104963T), Friedmanniella lucida (type strain FA2T=DSM 21742T=NBRC 104964T), Friedmanniella okinawensis (type strain FB1T=DSM 21744T=NBRC 104966T) and Friedmanniella sagamiharensis (type strain FB2T=DSM 21743T=NBRC 104965T) are proposed for these new strains.

Gene Sequence Analysis

The taxonomic position of a novel aerobic, Gram-positive actinobacteria, designated strain RB5T, was determined using a polyphasic approach. The strain, isolated from the gut of the fungus-farming termite Macrotermes natalensis, showed morphological, physiological and chemotaxonomic properties typical of the genus Streptomyces . Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, the closest phylogenetic neighbour of RB5T was Streptomyces polyrhachis DSM 42102T (98.87 %). DNA–DNA hybridization experiments between strain RB5T and S. polyrhachis DSM 42102T resulted in a value of 27.4 % (26.8 %). The cell wall of strain RB5T contained ll-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic amino acid. Mycolic acids and diagnostic sugars in whole-cell hydrolysates were not detected. The strain produced the following major phospholipids: diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol-mannoside and phosphatidylserine. The menaquinone profile showed hexa- and octahydrogenated menaquinones containing nine isoprene units [MK-9(H6) and MK-9(H8)]. The strain exhibited a fatty acid profile containing the following major fatty acids: 12-methyltridecanoic acid (iso-C14 : 0) 12-methyltetradecanoic acid (anteiso-C15 : 0), 13-methyltetradecanoic acid (iso-C15 : 0) and 14-methylpentadecanoic acid (iso-C16 : 0). Here, we propose a novel species of the genus Streptomyces – Streptomyces smaragdinus with the type strain RB5T (=VKM Ac-2839T=NRRL B65539T).
