sp. nov., from soil amended with humic acid No Access

Abstract

A Gram-positive, non-spore-forming actinobacterium (IMT-300) was isolated from soil amended with humic acid in Malvern, AL, USA. This soil has been used for 50+years for the cultivation of earthworms for use as fish bait. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity studies, strain IMT-300 was shown to belong to the genus and was closely related to the type strain of ’ L1 (97.8%). Similarity to all other type strains of species was lower than 97.2 %. The average nucleotide identity (ANI) and digital DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH) values between the IMT-300 genome assembly and those of the closest relative type strain were 81.4 and 23.3 % (), respectively. The peptidoglycan of strain IMT-300 contained -2,4-diaminobutyric acid as the diagnostic diamino acid. In addition, glycine, - and -alanine and -glutamic acid were found. The peptidoglycan type represents a variant of B2δ (B11). The major quinones were menaquinones MK-10 and MK-11. The polar lipid profile consisted of the major lipids diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and moderate to minor amounts of two unidentified phospholipids, two unidentified glycolipids and an unidentified aminophospholipid. The polyamine pattern contained major amounts of spermidine and spermine. Strain IMT-300 contained the major fatty acids C anteiso, C iso and C anteiso, like other members of the genus . The results of ANI and dDDH analyses and physiological and biochemical tests allowed a genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of strain IMT-300 from the most closely related species. Strain IMT-300 represents a novel species, for which we propose the name sp. nov., with the type strain IMT-300 (CIP 111803=DSM 110505=CCM 9020=LMG 31600).
