Streptomyces cameroonensis sp. nov., a Geldanamycin Producer That Promotes Theobroma cacao Growth.

ABSTRACT: The taxonomy of an actinobacterial strain, designated JJY4^T, was established using a polyphasic approach. JJY4^T was isolated from the rhizosphere of Chromolaena odorata in Yaoundé (Cameroon) during a project for the selection of biological control agents. Strain JJY4^T exhibited antimicrobial activities against bacteria, fungi, and oomycetes. Strain JJY4^T also exhibited the traits of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria such as the solubilization of inorganic phosphate, production of siderophores and indole-3-acetic acid, and 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase activity. In planta assays performed on cocoa plantlets confirmed that strain JJY4^T exhibited strong abilities to promote plant growth and protect against Phytophthora me
