Abstract:
Two bacterial strains isolated from different hospitals in Japan were subjected to a polyphasic analysis. Strains IFM 0406 and IFM 0706 T , producers of novel terpenoid antibiotics, were found to have morphological, biochemical, physiological and chemotaxonomic properties consistent with their classification in the genus Nocardia , except for the presence of MK-8(H 4 ) as one of the predominant menaquinones in addition to the major menaquinone MK-8(H 4 ω -cyc ). The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of strains IFM 0406 and IFM 0706 T was 99.9 %, and the closest members of Nocardia to these strains were the type strains of Nocardia nova and Nocardia mexicana , showing similarity of 97.5 and 97.1 %, respectively. Based on their characteristic phenotypic and phylogenetic properties, a novel species of the genus Nocardia , Nocardia terpenica sp. nov. is proposed for the two strains. The type strain is IFM 0706 T (=JCM 13033 T =DSM 44935 T =NBRC 100888 T ).
