摘要

actinomycete with well-branched mycelia, designated strain YIM 120521(T), was isolated from soil oollected from the banks of the Nujiang River, Yunnan Province, south-west China. Both aerial and substrate mycelia were white and non-pigmented. Growth was observed at 4-40 C (optimum 28 C), pH 6.0-9.0 (optimum 7.0) and in 0-4% (w/v) NaCl (optimum 0%). Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that strain YIM 1205211 belongs to the genus Allokutzneria with the highest sequence similarity to Allokutzneria albata DSM 44149(T) (98.4%). However, the mean DNA DNA relatedness value between the two strains was below 70%. Chemotaxonomic characteristics supported the inclusion of strain YIM 1205211 in the genus Allokutzneria, with rhamnose, arabinose, glucose, galactose and mannose as the whole-cell sugars, meso-thaminopimelic acid as the cell-wall diamino acid and MK-9(H-4) as the predominant menaquinone. On the basis of physiological, biochemical and chemotaxonomic characteristics, strain YIM 1205211 is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Allokutzneria, for which the name Allokutzneria multivorans sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YIM 1205211 (=JCM 17342(T)=DSM 45532(T)).
