Abstract

A novel actinobacterial strain, designated, NIO-1009, was isolated from a marine sediment sample collected from Chorao Island, Goa, India. Phylogenetic analysis comparisons based on 16S rRNA gene sequences between strain NIO-1009 and other members of the genus revealed that strain NIO-1009 had the closest sequence similarity to DSM 44908 and DSM 20151 with 99.2 and 99.1 %, respectively. Furthermore, DNA–DNA hybridization results showed that DSM 44908 and DSM 20151 were 39.5 (3.0 %) and 41.7 (2.0 %) with strain NIO-1009, respectively, which were well below the 70 % limit for any novel species proposal. Phylogenetically strain NIO-1009 forms a stable clade with and DSM 44908 and DSM 20151 with 100 % bootstrap values. Strain NIO-1009 contained -diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid and galactose and arabinose as the cell wall sugars. The major fatty acids were C, Cω9, C(ω6 and/or ω7) and 10-methyl C. The only menaquinone detected was MK-8(H), while the major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol mannoside and one unknown phospholipid. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 66.9 mol%. The phenotypic and genotypic data showed that strain NIO-1009 warrants recognition as a novel species of the genus for which the name sp. nov., is proposed; the type strain is NIO-1009 ( = NCIM 5452 = DSM 45688).
