Streptomyces yatensis sp. nov., a novel bioactive streptomycete isolated from a New-Caledonian ultramafic soil

Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek. 2003;83(1):21-6. doi: 10.1023/a:1022906325397.

Abstract

The taxonomic position of an actinomycete isolated from an ultramafic soil in New Caledonia was examined using a polyphasic approach. The organism, which was designated SFOCin 76, was found to have chemical and morphological properties typical of streptomycetes and formed a distinct phyletic line in the Streptomyces violaceusniger clade of the 16S rDNA tree. It also showed a unique pattern of phenotypic properties that distinguished it from representatives of all of the validly described species classified in this clade. It is, therefore, proposed that strain SFOCin 76 be classified in the genus Streptomyces as Streptomyces yatensis sp. nov.
