Abstract

An endophytic actinobacterial strain RZ36, isolated from roots of the salt-marsh plant , was subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic characterization. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that this strain belonged to the genus . The closest phylogenetic relative was DSM 12509, with a pairwise 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 98.8 %. The DNA–DNA hybridization value between strain RZ36 and DSM 12509 was 16 %. The affiliation to the genus was corroborated by phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics. The cell-wall peptidoglycan type was B2β and the diagnostic diamino acid was ornithine. Whole-cell sugars detected were galactose, glucose, rhamnose, ribose and xylose. The major fatty acids were anteiso-C and iso-C and the major menaquinone was MK-11 (64 %). Main polar lipids consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and two unknown glycolipids. The genomic DNA G+C content was 69.7 mol%. Thus, on the basis of phenotypic, genotypic and chemotaxonomic data, strain RZ36 is considered to represent a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. (type strain RZ36 = DSM 27100 = CECT 8356) is proposed.
