A novel endophytic species, Streptomyces colwelliae sp. nov., isolated from root nodule of Alnus glutinosa.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Streptomyces strains remain one of the most promising bacteria for novel drug discovery and are of general interest for pharmaceutical, biotechnological, and agricultural applications. They have been successfully used in agriculture to protect a number of crops, including wheat and rice, against fungal infections.

Method and results

Streptomyces sp. Agncl-13^T was isolated from the surface sterilised root nodule of Alnus glutinosa, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, and subjected to polyphasic taxonomic analysis and genome mining for plant growth promoting genes. Phenotypic, genetic and genomic data distinguished strain Agncl-13^T from Streptomyces species with validly published names. Whole cell hydrolysates of the strain were rich in LL-DAP. Strain Agn
