Nonomuraea basaltis sp. nov., a siderophore-producing actinobacteria isolated from surface soil of basaltic parent...

A Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, spore-forming actinobacterial strain, designated 160415^T, was isolated from a surface soil sample, which was formed on basaltic parent material, collected from Samsun, Turkey. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain 160415^T clustered closely with species of the genus Nonomuraea, and showed the highest sequence similarity to Nonomuraea zeae NEAU-ND5^T, Nonomuraea candida HMC10^T and Nonomuraea turkmeniaca DSM 43926^T with 99.1%, 98.9% and 98.7%, respectively. Chemotaxonomic properties including major menaquinones, diaminopimelic acid, sugar and phospholipid profiles also confirmed the affiliation of the strain to the genus Nonomuraea. The DNA G+C content of strain 160415^T was 69.6 mol%. DNA-DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity values between the strain and closely related type strains were less than the recommended cut-off values. On the basis of phylogenetic relationships, genotypic and phenotypic characterizations, strain 160415^T represents a novel species of the genus Nonomuraea, for which the name Nonomuraea basaltis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 160415^T (= KCTC 39875^T = DSM 104309^T).
