Streptomyces bathyalis sp. nov., an actinobacterium isolated from the sponge in a deep sea.

ABSTRACT: A novel actinobacterium, designated ASO4wet^T, was isolated from the unidentified sponge (SO4) in the deep sea collected of the North Atlantic Ocean. Study of 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain ASO4wet^T is a member of the genus Streptomyces and showed the closest similarities to Streptomyces karpasiensis K413^T (98.87 %), Streptomyces glycovorans YIM M 10366^T (98.38 %), and Streptomyces abyssalis YIM M 10400^T (97.53 %). Strain ASO4wet^T contained MK-9(H8) as the predominant menaquinone and the major fatty acids are iso-C_16:0, anteiso-C_15:0, and iso-C_15:0. Polyphasic taxonomy was carried out between strain ASO4wet^T and its phylogenetically closely related Streptomyces strain
