Abstract

A novel, non-motile, coccoid, Gram-stain-positive actinobacterium, designated BMG 862, was isolated from a marble sample collected from the Bulla Regia monument, Northern Tunisia. Its taxonomic position was determined using a polyphasic approach. Results from chemotaxonomic analyses showed MK-9(H), MK-8(H) and MK-9(H) as the predominant menaquinones. The major polar lipids comprised diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, glycophosphatidylinositol, hydroxy-phosphatidylethanolamine and three unidentified phospholipids. The fatty acids consisted of significant amounts (≥10 %) of iso-C, Cω8, iso-C and Cω7. Phylogenetic analysis on the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons showed that strain BMG 862 belongs to the genus , being most closely related to (=DSM 44509) (99.5 %) and (=DSM 46835=CECT 8876) (99.3 %). The genomic DNA G+C content of the organism was 74.7 mol%. Results of DNA–DNA hybridization and physiological tests allowed differentiation of strain BMG 862 from related species. The strain was also characterized by its ability to hydrolyse xanthine. On the basis of phenotypic and molecular characteristics, strain BMG 862 (=DSM 46842=CECT 8884) represents the type strain of a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed.
