Abstract:
A novel aerobic actinomycete, designated HA15826T, was isolated from a mangrove soil sample collected in Sanya, China. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the isolate produced straight to slightly flexural spore chains with rough cylindrical spores. Chemotaxonomic tests showed that the cell wall contained meso-diaminopimelic acid and the major fatty acids were iso-C16 : 0, 10-methyl-C17 : 0, C17 : 1ω8c and C16 : 0. 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity analysis showed that strain HA15826T belonged to the genus Nonomuraea, being most closely related to Nonomuraea dietziae DSM 44320T (98.7 %), Nonomuraea candida HMC10T (98.4 %), Nonomuraea africana IFO 14745T (98.4 %), Nonomuraea roseola IFO 14685T (98.2 %) and Nonomuraea recticatena IFO 14525T (98.1 %). The DNA G+C content of the type strain is 73.2 %. DNA-DNA relatedness and comparative analyses of physiological, biochemical and chemotaxonomic data allowed genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of strain HA15826T from the closely related species. Thus, strain HA15826T should be classified as a novel species of the genus Nonomuraea, for which the name Nonomuraeamangrovi sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is HA15826T (=CGMCC 4.7425T=DSM 105694T).

Cyclic Processes And Isolated Systems
In the case of a non-isolated system, the change in the internal energy is zero only if the process is cyclic. A thermodynamic process is considered cyclic if the system undergoes a series of changes and returns to its initial state.
Consider a cyclic process that returns to its initial state, undergoing a four-step process. The heat transfer along each...
