TAXONOMIC DESCRIPTION Li et al., Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2018;68:1–6 DOI 10.1099/ijsem.0.003079 Nocardioides silvaticus sp. nov., isolated from forest soil Chan Li, Kaixiang Shi, Yuxiao Zhang and Gejiao Wang* Abstract A Gram-stain-positive, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterial strain S-34T was isolated from forest soil. According to 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain S-34T was related to Nocardioides members and showed the highest similarities to Nocardioides thalensis NCCP-696T (97.3 %) and Nocardioides panacisoli Gsoil 346T (97.0 %), Nocardioides litorisoli X-2T (96.5 %) and Nocardioides immobilis FLL521T (96.4 %). Phylogenetic trees showed that strain S-34T fell within the cluster containing strain S-34T and N. immobilis FLL521T. The levels of DNA–DNA relatedness between strain S-34T and N. thalensis CCTCC AB 2016296T and between strain S-34T and N. panacisoli KCTC 19470T were 50.6 and 58.8 %, respectively. The genome orthoANI T T T value between strain S-34 and N. immobilis CCTCC AB 2017083 was 82.4 %. Strain S-34 had LL-diaminopimelic acid in the cell-wall peptidoglycan, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, four unknown phospholipids and one unknown lipid as the polar lipids, meanquinone-8(H4) as the only respiratory quinone and iso-C16 : 0,C17:1!8c,C17:1!6c,C17 : 0 and C17 : 0 10- T methyl (TBSA) as the major fatty acids. The genome length of strain S-34 was 4.53 Mb containing 52 contigs and with a DNA G+C content of 71.2 mol%. Strain S-34T could be distinguished from the other Nocardioides members mainly based on the data of phylogenetic analyses, DNA–DNA hybridization, polar lipids and some biochemical differences. Therefore, strain S- 34T represents a novel species of the genus Nocardioides, for which the name Nocardioides silvaticus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is S-34T (=KCTC 49137T=CCTCC AB 2018079T). The genus Nocardioides was proposed by Prauser et al. in normal saline solution and serial dilutions were spread on 1976 with Nocardioides albus as the type species [1]. This Reasoner’s 2A (R2A; Sigma) agar plates and incubated at genus belongs to the phylum Actinobacteria, class Actino- 28 C for 7 days. Colonies were picked and repeatedly bacteria, order Actinomycetales and family Nocardiaceae. restreaked on R2A agar plates until purity was confirmed. To date, Nocardioides contains 101 species (www.bacterio. Strain S-34T was then purified after several sub-cultivation net/nocardioides.html) with strains isolated from diverse cycles and stored at À80 C with 25 % glycerol. environments, such as seawater [2], soil [3–6], desert [7] The 16S rRNA gene fragment of strain S-34T was amplified and glacier [8]. The members of Nocardioides are Gram- by PCR using the universal bacterial primer pair, 27F and stain-positive, aerobic, with high a DNA G+C content 1492R [10] according to Fan et al. [11]. After using T-A (64.9–74.0 mol%) [1–8].

The fatty gene sequence of strain S-34T was compared with those acid profile includes both branched- and straight-chain fatty retrieved from GenBank and EzTaxon-e server databases acids, and iso-C is the dominant fatty acid [1–8].

Alignments of the major polar lipid is phosphatidylglycerol (PG) [1–9], some sequences were performed using MEGA version 6.0 [13]. strains have diphosphatidylglycerol (DPG) [1–6, 9] and/or Phylogenetic trees were reconstructed using the neighbour- phosphatidylinositol (PI) [2, 3, 5, 7].
