sp. nov., an actinomycete that produces kanchanamycin, isolated from the head of an ant ( L.) Free

Abstract

During a screening for novel and biotechnologically useful actinobacteria in insects, a kanchanamycin-producing actinomycete with antifungal activity, designated strain 3H-HV17(2), was isolated from the head of an ant ( L.) and characterized using a polyphasic approach. 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity studies showed that strain 3H-HV17(2) belongs to the genus with the highest sequence similarities to NBRC 13424 (98.90 %, with which it phylogenetically clustered, NRRL B-2373 (98.65 %) and NBRC 13371 (98.36 %). Phylogenetic analysis based on the gene also supported the close relationship of these strains. The morphological and chemotaxonomic properties of the strain are also consistent with those members of the genus . A combination of DNA–DNA hybridization experiments and phenotypic tests were carried out between strain 3H-HV17(2) and its phylogenetically closely related strains, which further clarified their relatedness and demonstrated that strain 3H-HV17(2) could be distinguished from these strains. Therefore, strain 3H-HV17(2) is concluded to represent a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 3H-HV17(2) (=CGMCC 4.7349=DSM 103124).
