- Abstract
A novel single spore-producing actinomycete, designated strain NEAU-Gz5, was isolated from a soil sample from Gama, Chad. A polyphasic taxonomic study was carried out to establish the status of this strain. The diamino acid present in the cell wall is meso-diaminopimelic acid. Glucose, mannose and madurose occur in whole cell hydrolysates. The polar lipids were found to consist of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol mannoside and an unidentified glycolipid. The predominant menaquinones were identified as MK-9(H) and MK-9(H). The predominant cellular fatty acids were found to be C, iso-C, iso-C and C 10-methyl. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene showed that strain NEAU-Gz5 belongs to the genus Actinomadura and is closely related to Actinomadura oligospora JCM 10648 (ATCC 43269; 98.3 % similarity). However, the low level of DNA-DNA relatedness and some different phenotypic characteristics allowed the strain to be distinguished from its close relatives. Therefore, it is concluded that strain NEAU-Gz5 represents a novel species of the genus of Actinomadura, for which the name Actinomadura gamaensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NEAU-Gz5 (= CGMCC 4.7301 = DSM 100815).
