Streptomyces lemnae sp. nov., a novel actinomycete isolated from Lemna aequinoctialis
摘要
A novel Streptomyces species, designated strain DW26H14T, was isolated from duckweed (Lemna aequinoctialis) and characterized using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain DW26H14T belonged to the genus Streptomyces and showed the highest similarity to Streptomyces tremellae Js-1T (98.8%) and Streptomyces fuscigenes JBL-20T (98.1%). The average nucleotide identity via BLAST (ANIb) and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) values between strain DW26H14T and these closely related type strains ranged from 84.15–84.60% and 29.8–31.5% respectively, which were below the established thresholds for prokaryotic species delineation. Strain DW26H14T has a genome size of 8,003,460 bp with DNA G + C content of 72.18%. Chemotaxonomic analysis revealed that strain DW26H14T contained glucose, mannose, rhamnose, and ribose in its whole-cell hydrolysates. The major cellular fatty acids (>10%) were C16:0 and summed feature 8 (C18:1 ω7c/C18:1 ω6c). The polar lipid pattern consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, hydroxyphosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositolmannosides, an unidentified aminolipid, and five unidentified phospholipids. The major menaquinones were MK-9(H4) and MK-9(H6). Based on the results of a polyphasic taxonomic analysis, strain DW26H14T represents a novel species within the genus Streptomyces, for which the name Streptomyces lemnae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is DW26H14T (=TBRC 17042T = NBRC 116115T).
