Both strains displayed growth and morphological characteristics typical for members belonging to the genus Nocardia . The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine, and the major fatty acids were C16 : 0, C18 : 1 ω9c, C18 : 0 and C18 : 0 10-methyl. The mycolic acids of strains USC-21046T and USC-21048T consisted of chain lengths between 50–64 and 56–68, respectively. Moreover, both of those strains contained meso-diaminopimelic acid and ribose, arabinose, glucose and galactose as whole cell sugars. Based on the phylogenomic results, both strains belonged to the genus Nocardia with strain USC-21046T showing an 80.4 % genome similarity to N. vinacea NBRC 16497T and N. pseudovaccinii NBRC 100343T, whereas USC-21048T strain showed an 83.6 % genome similarity to N. aobensis NBRC 100429T.

Its taxonomic position was scrutinized using a polyphasic approach. Colonies of strain BMG 823T were pink orange-coloured, regular and had a moist surface. Cells are Gram-stain-positive, catalase-negative and oxidase-negative. The strain grew at pH 5.5–9, 10–40 °C and in presence of up to 4 % NaCl (w/v). Chemotaxonomically, strain BMG 823T was characterized by cell-wall type III containing meso-diaminopimelic acid as diamino acid, glucose, ribose and rhamnose as whole-cell sugars, MK-9(H4) as predominant menaquinone, and phosphatidylcholine, diphosphadidylglycerol, phosphatidethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylinositol, unidentified glycolipid, unidentified aminophospholipids and unidentified glycophospholipid as major polar lipids. The fatty acid profile consisted of iso-C16 : 0 and iso-C17 : 1 ω9. Phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene and genome sequences p...

Many of the 119 Nocardia validly named species were isolated from natural habitats but little is known about the diversity and the potential of the endophytic nocardiae of root nodule of actinorhizal plants. Results The taxonomic status of an actinobacterium strain, designated ncl2T, was established in a genome-based polyphasic study. The strain was Gram-stain-positive, produced substrate and aerial hyphae that fragmented into coccoid and rod-like elements and showed chemotaxonomic properties that were also typical of the genus Nocardia. It formed a distinct branch in the Nocardia 16S rRNA gene tree and was most closely related to the type strains of Nocardia nova (98.6%), Nocardia jiangxiensis (98.4%), Nocardia miyuensis (97.8%) and Nocardia vaccinii (97.7%).

Strain ncl1T was found to have chemotaxonomic, cultural and morphological properties characteristic of members of the genus Nocardia. The strain was closely related to Nocardia aurea in the phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene and genome sequences. The draft genome of the strain is 8.9 Mbp in size, has a genomic DNA G + C content of 67.0% and was predicted to contain at least 19 biosynthetic gene clusters encoding for specialized metabolites. Strain ncl1T was distinguished from its closest neighbour, N. aurea DSM 103986T, by a broad range of phenotypic properties and by low average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization scores. Consequently, the strain represents a novel Nocardia species for which the name Nocardia noduli sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is ncl1T (CECT 30123T = DSM 110878T). The present stud...

Neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showing relationships between strains KC201T, KC310T, KC401, KC712T, 6K102T and between them and type strains of closely related Nonomuraea species. Evolutionary distances were computed using the Jukes–Cantor method [76] and are in the units of the number of base substitutions per site. The analysis was based on 39 nucleotide sequences. Positions containing gaps and missing data were eliminated from the data set. There was a total of 1316 positions in the final dataset. Asterisks indicate corresponding nodes recovered in the maximum-likelihood and maximum-parsimony trees. Numbers at the nodes indicate percentage levels of bootstrap support, only values over 50 % are shown. Bar, 0.005 substitutions per nucleotide position.

Strain MBT76T was found to have chemotaxonomic, cultural and morphological properties consistent with its classification in the genus Streptomyces . The strain formed a distinct branch in the Streptomyces16S rRNA gene tree and was closely related to the type strains of Streptomyces hiroshimensis and Streptomyces mobaraerensis. Multi-locus sequence analyses based on five conserved house-keeping gene alleles showed that strain MBT76T is closely related to the type strain of S. hiroshimensis, as was the case in analysis of a family of conserved proteins. The organism was also distinguished from S. hiroshimensis using cultural and phenotypic features. Average nucleotide identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridization values between the genomes of strain MBT76T and...

Until now no type strain has been designated for F. alni, even though the absence of a type strain has seriously inhibited the application of modern taxonomic methods to the genus Frankia. Thus, we propose that strain ACN14aT be recognized as the type strain of this species. We compare ACN14aT to two strains, CcI3T and BMG5.12T, isolated from Casuarina and Elaeagnus, respectively, based on chemotaxonomy, phenotype microarray data and molecular data retrieved from genome sequences. All three tested strains grow as branched hyphae, produce vesicles and multilocular sporangia containing non-motile spores, and metabolize short fatty acids, TCA-cycle intermediates and carbohydrates. Chemotaxonomically, the three strains are indistinguishable with respect to phospholipids and cell-sugar composition. The major fatty acids identified in all three...

The strain grew as dry bright orange colonies at 30°C and pH 6.0-8.0. It contained meso-diaminopimelic acid in the cell wall. The whole-cell sugars consisted of glucose, rhamnose and ribose. Polar lipids present were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylinositol, an unidentified glycolipid and two unidentified phospholipids. MK-9(H4) was the predominant menaquinone. The fatty acid profile contained major amounts (>5%) of C17:18c, C16:17c, iso-C15:0, iso-C16:0 and iso-C16:1 H.
