  ABSTRACT: A novel actinomycete, designated strain 06182M-1(T), was isolated from a mangrove soil sample collected from Chiayi County in Taiwan. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed levels of similarity of 97.0-98.8 % to the type strains of recognized species of the genus Isoptericola. Chemotaxonomic data also supported the placement of strain 06182M-1(T) within the genus Isoptericola. However, the low levels of DNA-DNA relatedness between the novel strain and the type strains of recognized species of the genus Isoptericola, in combination with differential phenotypic data, demonstrate that strain 06182M-1(T) represents a novel species of the genus Isoptericola, for which the name Isoptericola chiayiensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 06182M-1(T) ( = BCRC 16888(T)  = KCTC 19740(T)).

  ABSTRACT: An actinomycete, strain BC 44T-5(T), with the ability to degrade poly(d-3-hydroxybutyrate) was isolated from a soil sample collected from Miaoli County, Taiwan. The isolate displayed substrate mycelia and short spore chains were borne on the aerial mycelia. Spores were non-motile, round, 1 mum in diameter and spiny. The aerial spore mass was blue. Strain BC 44T-5(T) had meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid of the cell-wall peptidoglycan. Whole-cell sugars of the novel strain were identified as glucose, galactose and madurose. Diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylinositol were detected. The predominant menaquinones were MK-9(H(4)) and MK-9(H(2)). Mycolic acids were not detected. Major cellular fatty acids were iso-C(16 : 0) (14.82 %), C(16 : 0) (14.63 %), C(17 : 0) (13.79 %) and 10-methyl-C(17 : 0) (23.77 %.) The DNA G+C content of strain BC 44T-5(T) was 70.6 mol%. On the basis of phenotypic and genotypic data, it is proposed that strain BC 44T-5(T) (=FIRDI 002(T)=BCRC 16873(T)=LMG 24335(T)) should be classified as the type strain of a novel species of the genus Actinomadura, Actinomadura miaoliensis sp. nov.
