Abstract:
A Gram-positive, non-spore-forming bacterium (GW39-1573 T ) was isolated from soil of the Spanish island of Tenerife. 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity studies showed that strain GW39-1573 T belonged to the genus Nocardia and was most closely related to Nocardia brasiliensis (98·0 %), Nocardia beijingensis (97·3 %), Nocardia transvalensis (97·5 %), Nocardia asteroides (97·2 %) and Nocardia farcinica (97·0 %). Strain GW39-1573 T could be distinguished from all other validly described Nocardia species by sequence similarity values of less than 97 %. Chemotaxonomic data [major menaquinone: MK-8(H 4, ω -cycl ); major polar lipids: diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol mannoside and an unknown glycolipid and an unknown phospholipid; major fatty acids: C 16 : 0 , C 18 : 1 ω 9 c and 10 methyl C 16 : 0 ] and the presence of mycolic acids supported the affiliation of strain GW39-1573 T to the genus Nocardia . The results of DNA–DNA hybridizations and physiological and biochemical tests allowed genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of strain GW39-1573 T from those related species that showed 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of greater than 97 %. Strain GW39-1573 T merits species status, and the name Nocardia tenerifensis is proposed with the type strain GW39-1573 T (=DSM 44704 T =CIP 107929 T ).
