Streptomyces heilongjiangensis sp. nov., a novel actinomycete that produces borrelidin isolated from the root surface of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr].

ABSTRACT: A borrelidin-producing actinomycete, designated strain NEAU-W2(T), was isolated from the root surface of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr] and characterized using a polyphasic approach. The organism was found to have morphological and chemotaxonomic characteristics typical of streptomycetes. The G+C content of the DNA was 66.12 mol%. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain NEAU-W2(T) revealed that the strain formed a distinct clade within the 16S rRNA gene sequence phylogenetic tree and showed highest similarity (99.61 %) to Streptomyces neyagawaensis ATCC 27449(T). However, the DNA-DNA relatedness between strain NEAU-W2(T) and S. neyagawaensis ATCC 27449(T) was 58.51 %. Strain NEAU-W2(T) could also be differentiated from S. neyagawaensis ATCC 27449(T) and other Streptomyces species
