Streptacidiphilus pinicola sp. nov., isolated from pine grove soil Roh, Su Gwon and Kim, Min-Kyeong and Park, Sewook and Yun, Bo-Ram and Park, Jisun and Kim, Min Ji and Kim, Yeong Seok and Kim, Seung Bum,, 68, 3149-3155 (2018), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijsem.0.002957, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= A moderately acidophilic actinobacterial strain, designated MMS16-CNU450T, was isolated from pine grove soil, and its taxonomic position was analysed using a polyphasic approach. The isolate showed best growth at 30 °C, pH 6 and 0.5 % (w/v) NaCl. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, the isolate was assigned to the genus Streptacidiphilus , and the closest species were Streptacidiphilus rugosus AM-16T (sequence similarity, 98.61 %), Streptacidiphilus melanogenes NBRC 103184T (98.53 %), Streptacidiphilus jiangxiensis NBRC 100920T (98.19 %) and Streptacidiphilus anmyonensis NBRC 103185T (98.05 %). The isolate formed a distinct cluster of its own within the Streptacidiphilus clade in the phylogenetic tree. Based on whole-genome comparison between the strain MMS16-CNU450T and the type strains of related species, the orthologous average nucleotide identity and in silico DNA–DNA hybridization values were in the range of 77.9–87.0 and 22.3–32.7 %, respectively. The DNA G+C content of the isolate was 68.6 mol%. The phylogenetic, phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and genomic data supported the affiliation of the strain to Streptacidiphilus , and the name Streptacidiphilus pinicola sp. nov. (type strain, MMS16-CNU450T=KCTC 49008T=JCM 32300T) is proposed accordingly., language=, type=
