Abstract

Actinomycete strain VC-A46, which exhibits antifungal activity, was isolated from a soil sample collected from Cheonan, Korea. The strain was determined to belong to the genus , based on its morphological and chemotaxonomic characteristics. The cell wall of this strain contained -diaminopimelic acid. The predominant fatty acids were iso-C, C and C 9. The DNA G+C content of strain VC-A46 was 75·5 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of this strain revealed that it differed from those of the described streptomycetes available in public databases. Analyses of DNA–DNA relatedness data, together with data regarding the strain's morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics, also confirmed that this strain constitutes a novel taxon, which is distinguishable from closely related reference strains. Therefore, it is proposed that strain VC-A46 (=KCCM 42119=NBRC 100940) represents the type strain of a novel species, named sp. nov.
