摘要

A Gram-positive actinomycete, designated strain C-140ᵀ, was isolated from the crustose lichen Arthonia leioplacella collected in Thailand. A polyphasic taxonomic study demonstrated that the strain represents a member of the genus Actinomycetospora. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain C-140ᵀ exhibited the highest sequence similarity to Actinomycetospora lutea TT00-04ᵀ (98.62%), followed by Actinomycetospora lemnae DW7H6ᵀ (98.55%). Phylogenomic analysis indicated that Actinomycetospora chlora JCM 17979ᵀ is the closest phylogenetic relative of strain C-140ᵀ. Morphologically, the strain formed extensively branched substrate mycelium that fragmented into cylindrical spores, with swollen spores observed at the tips of the mycelia. The whole-cell hydrolysate contained ribose, arabinose, glucose, and galactose, and the peptidoglycan contained meso-diaminopimelic acid. The predominant menaquinone was MK-8(H₄). The major cellular fatty acid (>10%) was iso-C16:0. The polar lipid profile consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylmethylethanolamine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, four unidentified phospholipids, two unidentified glycolipids, and five unidentified lipids. Genome-based comparisons revealed that digital DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH) and average nucleotide identity (ANI) values between strain C-140ᵀ and A. chlora JCM 17979ᵀ were below the accepted thresholds for species delineation, supporting the conclusion that strain C-140ᵀ represents a novel species of the genus Actinomycetospora, for which the name Actinomycetospora lichenicola sp. nov. is proposed (=TBRC 20748T = NBRC 117442T). Genome analysis identified several biosynthetic gene clusters, including NRPS, siderophore, and terpene clusters. The strain exhibited weak antimicrobial activity against Kocuria rhizophila.
