Abstract

From our recent survey of non-pigmented rapidly growing mycobacteria in the Parisian water system, three groups of isolates (taxons 1–3) corresponding to possible novel species were selected for taxonomic study. The three taxa each formed creamy white, rough colonies, had an optimal growth temperature of 30 °C, hydrolyzed Tween 80, were catalase-positive at 22 °C and expressed arylsulfatase activity. All three were susceptible to amikacin, ciprofloxacin and tigecycline. The three taxa produced specific sets of mycolic acids, including one family that has never previously been described, as determined by thin layer chromatography and nuclear magnetic resonance. The partial sequences (723 bp) showed 4–6 % divergence from each other and more than 5 % differences from the most similar species. Partial 16S rRNA gene sequences showed 99 % identity within each species. The most similar sequences for 16S rRNA genes (98–99 % identity over 1444–1461 bp) were found in the group, and . The three taxa formed a new clade (bootstrap value, 99 %) on trees reconstructed from concatenated partial 16S rRNA, and sequences. The above results led us to propose three novel species for the three groups of isolates, namely sp. nov. [type strain 071=ParisRGMnew_1 (CIP 110656=DSM 46713)], sp. nov. [type strain 196=ParisRGMnew_2 (CIP 110655=DSM 46714)] and sp. nov. [type strain of 269=ParisRGMnew_3 (CIP 110654=DSM 46715)].
