Actinomadura namibiensis sp. nov. Wink, Joachim and Kroppenstedt, Reiner M. and Seibert, Gerhard and Stackebrandt, Erko,, 53, 721-724 (2003), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.02286-0, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= Strain HAG 010767T was isolated from desert soil from Namibia during a screening programme. On the basis of analysis of 16S rDNA, the principal amino acid of the peptidoglycan, cell-wall sugars, fatty acids and polar lipids, it was possible to identify this strain as a member of the genus Actinomadura. Although DNA–DNA reassociation experiments revealed 72 % DNA similarity between strain HAG 010767T and Actinomadura kijaniata DSM 43764T, significant differences in the colour of the mycelium and physiological properties indicate that strain HAG 010767T represents a novel species of this genus, for which the name Actinomadura namibiensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is strain HAG 010767T (=DSM 44197T=NRRL B-24153T)., language=, type=
