Leifsonia kribbensis sp. nov., isolated from soil Dastager, Syed G. and Lee, Jae-Chan and Ju, Yoon-Jung and Park, Dong-Jin and Kim, Chang-Jin,, 59, 18-21 (2009), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.001925-0, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= A yellow-pigmented actinobacterium, designated strain MSL-13T, was isolated from a soil sample collected from Bigeum Island, Republic of Korea, and its taxonomic position was determined by using a polyphasic approach. Strain MSL-13T showed phenotypic and chemotaxonomic properties consistent with its classification in the genus Leifsonia. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis of strain MSL-13T with sequences from Leifsonia naganoensis DB103T, Leifsonia aquatica DSM 20146T, Leifsonia xyli subsp. cynodontis JCM 9733T, Leifsonia poae VKM Ac-1401T and Leifsonia shinshuensis DB102T revealed similarities of 96.22, 96.19, 95.77, 95.44 and 95.37โ€Š%, respectively, with differences of 39โ€“65โ€…nt among 1483 total nucleotides aligned. Based on differences in phenotypic and genotypic characteristics, strain MSL-13T (=KCTC 19267T =DSM 19272T) is designated as the type strain of a novel species of the genus Leifsonia, for which the name Leifsonia kribbensis sp. nov. is proposed., language=, type=
