Abstract

A novel actinomycete, strain N3-7, was isolated from a natural cave in Jeju, Republic of Korea, using a dilution method and was subjected to characterization using polyphasic taxonomy. A 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that the organism belonged to the phylogenetic cluster of the genus and was most closely related to and (97.6 and 97.5 % similarity, respectively). The main chemotaxonomic properties of strain N3-7, such as the principal amino acid of the peptidoglycan, the predominant menaquinone and the polar lipid profile, supported classification in the genus . The organism was readily differentiated from species with validly published names on the basis of a broad range of phenotypic properties. Thus the isolate represents a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is strain N3-7 (=JCM 13278=NRRL B-24429).
