<i>Streptomyces huangiella</i> sp. nov., an endophytic actinomycete isolated from <i>Pheretima aspergillum<b>,</b></i> a promising candidate for biological pathogen control.

ABSTRACT: Pheretima aspergillum (E. Perrier) is an annelid of the genus Pheretima in the family Megascolecidae, a species of earthworm, whose dried body (Guang Dilong) is a traditional Chinese animal medicine. A new actinobacterium strain, named HD1123-B1^T, was isolated from the gut contents of Pheretima aspergillum caught in the wild in Guangzhou, China. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the strain was primarily identified as a member of the genus Streptomyces, sharing more than 98% sequence identity to Streptomyces endocoffeicus CA3R110^T (98.80%), Streptomyces coffeae CA1R205^T (98.47%), and Streptomyces iranensis HM35^T (97.93%).
