Micromonospora globbae sp. nov., an endophytic actinomycete isolated from roots of Globba winitii C. H. Wright Kuncharoen, Nattakorn and Pittayakhajonwut, Pattama and Tanasupawat, Somboon,, 68, 1073-1077 (2018), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijsem.0.002625, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= A novel endophytic actinomycete, strain WPS1-2T, isolated from a root of Globba winitii C. H. Wright, was characterized taxonomically by using a polyphasic approach. Strain WPS1-2T exhibited identical characteristics to the members of the genus Micromonospora . Single spores were observed directly on substrate mycelia. The cell-wall peptidoglycan of the strain contained meso-diaminopimelic acid and 3-OH-meso-diaminopimelic acid. Whole-cell hydrolysates contained glucose, ribose, arabinose and xylose. The predominant menaquinones were MK-10(H8) and MK-10(H10). The major cellular fatty acids consisted of iso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 and anteiso-C15 : 0. According to the 16S rRNA gene sequence of the strain, WPS1-2T showed highest similarity to Micromonospora costi CS1-12T (99.02 %). Phylogenetic analysis of the gyrase subunit B (gyrB) gene indicated that the strain was related to M. costi CS1-12T. The DNA G+C content was 73.7 mol%. The strain could be distinguished from closely related type strains by using a combination of morphological, chemotaxonomic, physiological and biochemical data together with DNA–DNA relatedness values. Based on these observations, strain WPS1-2T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Micromonospora , for which the name Micromonospora globbae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is WPS1-2T (=KCTC 39787T=NBRC 112325T=TISTR 2405T)., language=, type=
