abstract= The taxonomic position of an actinomycete isolated from a lead-polluted soil in Gansu province, north-west China, was determined by using a polyphasic approach. Chemical and morphological properties of the isolate, designated strain CCNWHX 13-160T, were similar to those of streptomycetes. Analysis of the almost complete 16S rRNA gene sequence placed strain CCNWHX 13-160T in the genus Streptomyces where it formed a distinct phyletic line with recognized Streptomyces species. The strain was most similar to Streptomyces pseudovenezuelae NBRC 12904T (98.9 %) and Streptomyces resistomycificus NBRC 12814T (98.8 %). Furthermore, DNA–DNA hybridization studies between the novel isolate and these two strains showed relatedness values of 49.7±0.8 and 43.2±1.1 %, respectively. It is proposed that strain CCNWHX 13-160T (=ACCC 41207T=HAMBI 2991T) be classified as the type strain of a novel species in the genus Streptomyces, Streptomyces plumbiresistens sp. nov. The MIC of Pb2+ for growth of strain CCNWHX 13-160T was 4.0 mM.,
