Glycomyces artemisiae sp. nov., an endophytic actinomycete isolated from the roots of Artemisia argyi Zhang, Xiumin and Ren, Kai and Du, Jiao and Liu, Haiyan and Zhang, Liping,, 64, 3492-3495 (2014), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.063388-0, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= An endophytic actinomycete strain, IXS4T, was isolated from the root of Artemisia argyi, a medicinal plant collected from Yesanpo located in Laishui county, Hebei province, China. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain IXST showed most similarity to Glycomyces mayteni YIM 61331T (98.23 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), Glycomyces scopariae YIM 56256T (98.00 %), Glycomyces sambucus E71T (97.90 %) and Glycomyces algeriensis NRRL B-16327T (97.10 %). DNA–DNA hybridization values between strain IXS4T and the closely related type strains were well below 70 %. The strain also showed a number of physiological and biochemical characteristics that were distinct from the closely related species. The strain contained MK-10(H2) and MK-11(H0) as the detected menaquinones. The peptidoglycan was mainly meso-diaminopimelic acid and the whole-cell sugars contained galactose, glucose, mannose, xylose and ribose. The major cellular fatty acids were iso-C14 : 0, iso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0. Based on the genetic and phenotypic properties, it is proposed that strain IXS4T represents a novel species of the genus Glycomyces , with the name http://dx.doi.org/10.1601/nm.7671 Glycomyces artemisiae sp. nov. The type strain is IXS4T ( = HBUM178000T = CGMCC 4.7067T = NBRC 109773T)., language=, type=
