Emended description of Actinoplanes friuliensis and description of Actinoplanes nipponensis sp. nov., antibiotic-producing species of the genus Actinoplanes Wink, Joachim and Schumann, Peter and Spöer, Cathrin and Eisenbarth, Kerstin and Glaeser, Stefanie P. and Martin, Karin and Kämpfer, Peter,, 64, 599-606 (2014), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.057836-0, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= In 2000, an actinomycete strain that showed strong antibacterial activity in culture extracts was isolated from a soil sample. The antibiotic activity corresponds to a lipopeptide complex that was named friulimycin, as the producing micro-organism was isolated from a soil sample from the region of Friaul in Italy. Taxonomic investigations showed that the producer strain belonged to a novel species of the genus Actinoplanes , for which the name Actinoplanes friuliensis was proposed. During further taxonomic studies, another antibiotic-producing isolate belonging to the genus Actinoplanes , FH 2241T, was characterized; in a patent, the name ‘Actinoplanes nipponensis’ was proposed for this strain. This organism was shown to be related to A. friuliensis . ‘A. nipponensis’ was never described in detail and the name was never validly published. Here we present a complete description of Actinoplanes nipponensis sp. Nov. (type strain FH 2241T = ATCC 31145T = DSM 43867T) and an emended description of Actinoplanes friuliensis (type strain HAG 010964T = DSM 45797T = CCUG 63250T)., language=, type=
