Promicromonospora flava sp. nov., isolated from sediment of the Baltic Sea Jiang, Yi and Wiese, Jutta and Cao, Yan-Ru and Xu, Li-Hua and Imhoff, Johannes F. and Jiang, Cheng-Lin,, 59, 1599-1602 (2009), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.006197-0, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= A Gram-positive, non-spore-forming actinomycete, designated strain CC 0387T, was isolated from a sediment sample from the Baltic Sea, Germany. Classification using a polyphasic approach and comparative 16S rRNA gene sequencing showed that strain CC 0387T belonged to the genus Promicromonospora and displayed more than 3 % 16S rRNA gene sequence divergence from all Promicromonospora species with validly published names. Strain CC 0387T did not produce aerial mycelium. Substrate mycelia were yellowish white to pale orange-yellow and fragmented into bacillary or coccoid elements. The cell wall contained lysine and alanine. Whole-cell hydrolysates contained galactose, glucose, rhamnose and ribose. The polar lipid profile consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, an unknown phospholipid and an unknown glycolipid. The predominant menaquinone was MK-9(H4) (86 %). The G+C content of the DNA was 71.87 mol%. Based on morphological, chemotaxonomic, phenotypic and genetic characteristics, strain CC 0387T (=CCTCC AA208024T=DSM 21481T) represents a novel species, for which the name Promicromonospora flava sp. nov. is proposed., language=, type=
