Verrucosispora rhizosphaerae sp. nov., isolated from mangrove rhizosphere soil.

ABSTRACT: An actinomycete strain, 2603PH03^T, was isolated from a mangrove rhizosphere soil sample collected in Wenchang, China. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain 2603PH03^T indicated high similarity to Verrucosispora gifthornensis DSM 44337^T (99.4%), Verrucosispora andamanensis (99.4%), Verrucosispora fiedleri MG-37^T (99.4%) and Verrucosispora maris AB18-032^T (99.4%). The cell wall was found to contain meso-diaminopimelic acid and glycine. The major menaquinones were identified as MK-9(H₄), MK-9(H₆) and MK-9(H₈), with MK-9(H₂), MK-10(H₂), MK-9(H₁₀) and MK-10(H₆) as minor components. The characteristic whole cell sugars were found to be xylose
