Abstract

A study was conducted to determine the taxonomic status of six actinomycete strains isolated from root nodules of . The strains were filamentous, Gram-positive and produced single spores at the tip of the hyphae. Phylogenetic, chemotaxonomic and morphological analyses demonstrated that all six strains belonged to the genus . According to the 16S rRNA gene sequence data, the strains were divided into two clusters that are moderately related to , and . Fatty acid patterns also supported the division of the strains, and significant differences between the two groups were found in the amounts of iso-15 : 0, iso-16 : 0, iso-16 : 1 and iso-17 : 0. Furthermore, the two groups showed physiological differences which included utilization of arabinose, trehalose, alanine and sucrose and xylan hydrolysis. Finally, DNA–DNA hybridization and ribotyping studies confirmed that each group represents a novel species. Based on the genotypic and phenotypic data, the novel species sp. nov. (type strain Lupac 14N =DSM 44874 =LMG 24055) and sp. nov. (type strain Lupac 09 =DSM 44871 =LMG 24056) are proposed.
