Strain R10-82T produced branching substrate mycelia and developed spherical spore vesicles on aerial hyphae containing non-motile spores. The major cellular fatty acids were iso-C16 : 0, iso-C14 : 0 and 10-methyl C17 : 0. The predominant menaquinones were MK-9, MK-9(H2), MK-9(H4) and MK-9(H6). Rhamnose, ribose, madurose, mannose and glucose were detected in whole-cell hydrolysates. The diagnostic phospholipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol mannosides, hydroxylphosphatidylethanolamine and ninhydrin-positive phosphoglycolipids. These morphological and chemotaxonomic data were similar to those of the genus Sphaerisporangium. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that strain R10-82T was related most closely to Sphaerisporangium cinnabarinum JCM 3291T (98.3 % similarity). The DNA G+C content of strain R10-82T was 74 mol%. DNA–DNA relatedness data in combination with differences in the biochemical and physiological properties suggested that strain R10-82T should be classified as representing a novel species of the genus Sphaerisporangium, for which the name Sphaerisporangium rufum is proposed. The type strain is R10-82T (5BCC 51287T5NBRC 109079T). An emended description of the genus Sphaerisporangium is also provided. The genus Sphaerisporangium was first proposed by Ara (Suriyachadkun et al., 2011), Sphaerisporangium siamense & Kudo (2007) for aerobic, non-acid-fast actinomycetes (Duangmal et al., 2011), Sphaerisporangium cinnabarinum, which form branched, non-fragmenting substrate and aerial Sphaerisporangium viridialbum, Sphaerisporangium rubeum hyphae. Spherical spore vesicles are produced on aerial and Sphaerisporangium melleum, the last named being the hyphae. The cell wall contains meso-diaminopimelic acid, type species of the genus (Ara & Kudo, 2007). All members and galactose, glucose, madurose, mannose and ribose of this genus have been isolated from soil samples. In are detected in whole-cell hydrolysates. The diagnostic this polyphasic taxonomic study, strain R10-82T, isolated polar lipids are phosphatidylethanolamine and ninhydrin- from the surface-sterilized roots of Oryza sativa L., is positive phosphoglycolipids and the predominant mena- described as representing a novel species of the genus quinones are MK-9, MK-9(H2), MK-9(H4) and MK-9(H6); Sphaerisporangium. mycolic acids are absent.

    J. Gen. Appl. Microbiol., 54, 335‒342 (2008) Full Paper Actinomadura maheshkhaliensis sp. nov., a novel actinomycete isolated from mangrove rhizosphere soil of Maheshkhali, Bangladesh Ismet Ara,1,* Atsuko Matsumoto,2 Mohammad Abdul Bakir,3 Takuji Kudo,3 Satoshi Omura,1,2 and Yoko Takahashi1 1 Kitasato Institute for Life Sciences, Kitasato University, 5‒9‒1 Shirokane, Minato-ku, Tokyo 108‒8641, Japan 2 The Kitasato Institute, 5‒9‒1 Shirokane, Minato-ku, Tokyo 108‒8642, Japan 3 Microbe Division/Japan Collection of Microorganisms, RIKEN BioResource Center, 2‒1 Hirosawa, Wako, Saitama 351‒0198, Japan (Received February 12, 2008; Accepted July 30, 2008) The taxonomic position of one soil isolate 13-12(50)T was clarifi ed by a polyphasic study. The organism showed a combination of chemotaxonomic and morphological properties typical of the genus Actinomadura. It formed a distinct phyletic line in the Actinomadura 16S rRNA gene tree and was closely associated with Actinomadura mexicana (sequence similarity 99.5%), Actinoma- dura glaucifl ava, Actinomadura citrea (sequence similarity 99.4%) and Actinomadura madurae (sequence similarity 99.2%). The result of DNA-DNA hybridizations between 13-12(50)T and Acti- nomadura mexicana was 49.9%. On the basis of the phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and genotypic properties, the isolate was differentiated from its closest phylogenetic relatives. It is proposed that the organism be classifi ed as a novel species of the genus Actinomadura. The name pro- posed for the new taxa are Actinomadura maheshkhaliensis sp. nov.
