Abstract
A Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, non-motile, coryneform bacterium, designated strain EGI 60002T, was isolated from the halophyte Suaeda physophora. Cells were coryneform shaped and polymorphic. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the new isolate was closely related to Actinotalea ferrariae CF5-4T (95.8 % gene sequence similarity). The peptidoglycan type of strain EGI 60002T was A4β, containing l-Orn-d-Ser-d-Asp. The cell-wall sugars were mannose, ribose, rhamnose and glucose. The major fatty acids (>5 %) of strain EGI 60002T were iso-C14:0, iso-C15:0, anteiso-C15:1 A and anteiso-C15:0. The predominant respiratory quinone was MK-10(H4). The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol (DPG), one unidentified phosphoglycolipid (PGL) and one unidentified phospholipid (PL1). The genomic DNA G+C content was 72.3 mol%. On the basis of morphological, physiological, chemotaxonomic data, and phylogenetic analysis, strain EGI 60002T should be classified as a novel species within the genus Actinotalea, for which the name Actinotalea suaedae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is EGI 60002T (=JCM 19624T = KACC 17839T = KCTC 29256T).
