Abstract

Actinomycete strain SA198T, isolated from a Saharan soil sample of Algeria, was characterized taxonomically by using a polyphasic approach. Chemotaxonomic and morphological characteristics observed suggested that it was a member of the genus Saccharothrix. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis confirmed that strain SA198T was a member of the genus Saccharothrix and showed a similarity level ranging between 97.5 and 98.9% within Saccharothrix species, S. australiensis being the most closely related. However, DNA-DNA hybridization values between strain SA181T and its closest phylogenetic neighbours, the type strains of Saccharothrix australiensis, S. xinjiangensis, S. algeriensis and S. espanaensis, were clearly below the 70% threshold. Based upon genotypic and phenotypic differences to other members of the genus, a novel species, Saccharothrix tamanrassetensis sp. nov., is proposed, with SA198T (=DSM 45947T =CECT 8640T) as the type strain.
