ABSTRACT
A novel actinobacterium with antimicrobial activity, designated strain H16431T, was isolated from a sediment sample collected from Dianchi Lake, Yunnan Province, PR China. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that strain H16431T was most closely related to Nonomuraea rhizosphaerae CGMCC 4.7431T and Nonomuraea guangzhouensis CGMCC 4.7101T (98.1% similarity), but formed a monophyletic clade with Nonomuraea ceibae KCTC 39826T (98.0% similarity). Phylogenomic analysis based on whole-genome sequence showed that strain H16431T formed a separate clade within the genus Nonomuraea. The average nucleotide identity, average amino acid identity, and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values between strain H16431T and its closely related Nonomuraea species were 80.0-81.5%, 71.2-74.6%, and 23.2-25.0%, respectively, which were significantly lower than the widely accepted species-defined threshold. The DNA G + C content was 70.2% based on the whole-genome sequence. The menaquinones were identified as MK-9(H4), MK-9(H6), and MK-9(H2). The major fatty acids were iso-C16:0, 10 methyl-C17:0, and iso-C16:0 2OH. The phospholipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, hydroxy-phosphatidylethanolamine, and phosphatidylinositol. These chemotaxonomic characteristics were corresponded to those of the genus Nonomuraea. On the basis of the taxonomic evidence, strain H16431T represents a novel species of the genus Nonomuraea, for which the name Nonomuraea sediminis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is H16431T (=JCM 34852T=CICC 25119T).
