Abstract

A phenol-degrading actinomycete, strain NP8-5, was isolated from a polluted stream in Gumi, Korea. The strain was aerobic, Gram-positive-staining, non-motile and non-spore-forming, displayed a rod–coccus growth cycle, exhibited white opaque colonies on complex media and showed chemotaxonomic markers that were consistent with its classification in the genus . Phylogenetic analysis, based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing, also showed that strain NP8-5 belonged to the genus , sharing the highest levels of sequence similarity with IFM 10211, DSM 44015 and NCIMB 13802 (96.4, 96.0 and 95.9 %, respectively) and forming a separate lineage within this genus. Combined phylogenetic and phenotypic data supported the conclusion that strain NP8-5 represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NP8-5 (=KCTC 19360 =DSM 45133).
