Amycolatopsis camponoti sp. nov., new tetracenomycin-producing actinomycete isolated from carpenter ant Camponotus vagus.

ABSTRACT: An actinobacterial strain A23^T, isolated from adult ant Camponotus vagus collected in Ryazan region (Russia) and established as tetracenomycin X producer, was subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. Morphological characteristics of this strain included well-branched substrate mycelium and aerial hyphae fragmented into rod-shaped elements. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene and genome sequences showed that strain A23^T was most closely related to Amycolatopsis pretoriensis DSM 44654^T. Average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values between the genome sequences of isolate A23^T and its closest relative, Amycolatopsis pretoriensis DSM 44654^T, were 39.5% and 88.6%, which were below the 70% and 95-96% cut-off
