Streptomyces aurantiaciflavus sp. nov., a novel actinomycete isolated from rhizosphere soil with antifungal activity and plant growth-promoting ability
摘要
A novel actinobacterial strain NEAU-NA10T showing antifungal activity and plant growth-promoting ability was isolated from the rhizosphere soil of strawberry seedlings collected from Ya’an City, Sichuan Province, China (28°51′ N, 101°56′ E). A polyphasic taxonomic study was used to establish the status of strain NEAU-NA10T. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain NEAU-NA10T belongs to the genus Streptomyces and shares the highest similarity (99.31%) with Streptomyces canarius CGMCC 4.1581T. Whole-genome comparisons with its reference strains demonstrated that the average nucleotide identity (ANIm) and digital DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH) values ranged from 86.74 to 87.75% and 27.0 to 30.1%, respectively. The phospholipid profile contained diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, and phosphatidylinositol. The diagnostic sugars in cell hydrolysates were determined to be ribose, and the cell wall contained LL-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid. The predominant menaquinones were MK-9(H4), MK-9(H6) and MK-9(H8). The predominant cellular fatty acids (>10%) were C16:0, C17:0, C18:0, and anteiso-C18:0. Meanwhile, genomic analysis revealed a genome size of 9,459,621 bp and a DNA G + C content of 71.81%, and indicated that strain NEAU-NA10T has the potential to degrade cellulose and produce amylase. Based on phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, and genotypic studies, strain NEAU-NA10T is considered to be a novel species of the genus Streptomyces, for which the name Streptomyces aurantiaciflavus sp. nov. is proposed, with NEAU-NA10T (=MCCC 1K08700T = JCM 36416T) as the type strain.
