Phytoactinopolyspora limicola sp. nov., an alkaliphilic actinomycete isolated from a soda alkali-saline soil. Arch Microbiol. 2021 Jan 02;: Authors: Wei W, Wang K, Hu X, Yang S, Zeng C, Hou Z, Liu S, Cui H, Zhu L Abstract An alkaliphilic actinomycete, designated HAJB-30 T, was isolated from a soda alkali-saline soil in Heilongjiang, Northeast China. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain HAJB-30 T was most closely related to type strains of the genus Phytoactinopolyspora with sequence similarities ranging between 93.5 and 98.9%. Strain HAJB-30 T grew at pH 8.0-11.0 (optimum pH 9.5-10.0) and in the presence of 0-7.0% NaCl (optimum 1.0-3.0%). Whole-cell hydrolysates of the isolate contained LL-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid and mannose and rhamnose as diagnostic sugars. The major fatty acids identified were iso-C14:0, iso-C15:0, anteiso-C15:0, iso-C16:0 and anteiso-C17:0, while the menaquinone was MK-9(H4). The genome (6,589,901 bp), composed of 50 contigs, had a G + C content of 66.8%. Out of the 6074 predicted genes, 6020 were protein-coding genes, and 54 were ncRNAs. Digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) estimation and average nucleotide identity (ANI) of strain HAJB-30 T against genomes of the type strains of related species in the same family ranged between 19.7 and 22.0% and between 71.5 and 76.8%, respectively. From these results, it was concluded that strain HAJB-...
