Abstract

An actinomycete strain, designated SA-246T, was isolated from a forest soil sample collected from Chungnam, South Korea. Applying a polyphasic approach, the isolate was identified as a member of the genus Catenulispora using morphological and chemotaxonomic characteristics, including the presence of ll-diaminopimelic acid, glutamic acid, alanine and glycine in the peptidoglycan. Whole-cell hydrolysates contained predominantly rhamnose, mannose, ribose, arabinose, galactose and glucose. The major menaquinones were MK-9(H4), MK-9(H6) and MK-9(H8). 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain SA-246T belongs to the genus Catenulispora, showing the highest sequence similarity to Catenulispora yoronensis TT N02-20T (98.7&#8201% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), Catenulispora subtropica TT 99-48T (98.2&#8201%), Catenulispora graminis BR-34T (97.4&#8201%), Catenulispora rubra Aac-30T (97.4&#8201%) and Catenulispora acidiphila ID139908T (97.3&#8201%). On the basis of polyphasic analysis from this study, strain SA-246T represents a novel species of the genus Catenulispora, for which the name Catenulispora fulva sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is SA-246T (&#8201=&#8201KACC 17878T&#8201=&#8201NBRC 110074T).
