Abstract
Coriariaceae are a small plant family of 14-17 species and subspecies that currently have a global but disjunct distribution. All species can form root nodules in symbiosis with diazotrophic Frankia cluster-2 strains, which form the earliest divergent symbiotic clade within this bacterial genus. Studies on Frankia cluster-2 mostly have focused on strains occurring in the northern hemisphere. Except for one strain from Papua New Guinea, namely Candidatus Frankia meridionalis Cppng1, no complete genome of Frankia associated with Coriaria occurring in the southern hemisphere has been published thus far, yet the majority of the Coriariaceae species occur here. We present field sampling data of novel Frankia cluster-2 strains, representing two novel species, which are associated with Coriaria arborea and Coriaria sarmentosa in New Zealand, and with Coriaria ruscifolia in Patagonia (Argentina), in addition to identifying Ca. F. meridionalis present in New Zealand. The novel Frankia species were found to be closely related to both Ca. F. meridionalis, and a Frankia species occurring in the Philippines, Taiwan, and Japan. Our data suggest that the different Frankia cluster-2 species diverged early after becoming symbiotic circa 100 million years ago.

Abstract
In this study, 20 endophytic actinobacteria were isolated from different parts of peanut plants growing in cropland with low and high salt in West Bengal, India. The endophytes underwent a rigorous morphological, biochemical, and genetic screening process to evaluate their effectiveness in enhancing plant growth. About 20% of these isolates were identified as potential plant growth-promoting endophytic actinobacteria, which showed high 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (up to 99-100%) with different species of Micromonospora. Among these isolates, Micromonospora sp. ASENR15 produced the highest levels of indole acetic acid (IAA) and gibberellic acid (GA), while Micromonospora sp. ASENL2, Micromonospora sp. ANENR4, and Micromonospora sp. ASENR12 produced the highest level of siderophore. Among these leaf and root endophytic Micromonospora, strain ANENR4 was tested for its plant growth-promoting attributes. ANENR4 can be transmitted into the roots of a healthy peanut plant, enhances growth, and colonize the roots in abundance, suggesting the potential agricultural significance of the strain. Moreover, the study is the first report of endophytic Micromonospora in peanuts with PGP effects. The outcomes of this study open avenues for further research on harnessing the benefits of this endophytic Micromonospora for optimizing plant growth in agriculture.

Abstract
A unique feature of leguminous plants is the establishment of symbiotic bacterial genera inside root or stem nodules that is being recently re-evaluated for investigating the micro-flora discrete to nitrogen fixation. The present research was carried out to evaluate non-rhizobial endophytes and Rhizobium from root nodules of Vigna radiata and ascertain their co-inoculation effect in pot and field conditions. Each strain displayed one or more plant growth-promoting behaviors in varying degrees. The ability to fix nitrogen was observed in all strains; however, a noticeable enhancement in nitrogen fixation was observed when all three strains were co-inoculated. All three strains were found to possess the nifH gene, which plays a key role in the nitrogen fixation process. However, only Rhizobium sp. AAU B3 also had the nodD gene present. Furthermore, combinations of all three strains produced the highest levels of phosphate solubilization, potash mobilisation, Indole Acetic Acid (IAA), and the stress-relieving enzyme 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) deaminase. Interestingly, the succession of the root nodule formation within root hairs seedlings was observed under a fluorescence microscope and two NRE were found to be located inside the root nodules, indicating that they are endophytic. Additionally, a pot and field investigation revealed that the combination of chosen Rhizobium and NRE strains had a favorable impact on the growth and yield characteristics of a green gram. Selected bio-inoculants can reduce the utilization of synthetic fertilizers by 75%, which might lead to the restoration of the soil's health. Therefore, these bio-inoculants might be explored commercially for sustainable agriculture production.

Abstract
In the present study, we report the in vitro interactions between Frankia sp. ACN10a and non-Frankia nodular endophytes (NFNE) isolated from alder. The supernatant of NFNE grown in nitrogen-replete medium had neutral or negative effects on Frankia growth; none had a stimulatory effect. Inhibitory effects were observed for supernatants of some NFNE, notably Micromonospora, Pseudomonas, Serratia and Stenotrophomonas isolates. However, some NFNE-Frankia coculture supernatants could stimulate Frankia growth when used as a culture medium supplement. This was observed for supernatants of Frankia cocultured with Microvirga and Streptomyces isolates. In nitrogen-limited conditions, cocultures of Frankia with some NFNE, including some rhizobia and Cytobacillus, resulted in higher total biomass than Frankia-only cultures, suggesting cooperation, while other NFNE were strongly antagonistic. Microscopic observation of cocultures also revealed compromised Frankia membrane integrity, and some differentiation into stress resistance-associated morphotypes such as sporangia and reproductive torulose hyphae (RTH). Furthermore, the coculture of Frankia with Serratia sp. isolates resulted in higher concentrations of the auxinic plant hormone indole-3-acetic acid and related indolic compounds in the culture supernatant. This study sheds new light on the breadth of microbial interactions that occur amongst bacteria that inhabit the understudied ecological niche of the alder nodule.

Abstract
Endophytic bacterial populations are well-positioned to provide benefits to their host plants such as nutrient acquisition and plant hormone level manipulation. Actinorhizal plants such as alders are well known for their microbial symbioses that allow them to colonize harsh environments whether natural or anthropized. Although the nitrogen-fixing actinobacterium Frankia sp. is the main endophyte found in alder root nodules, other bacterial genera, whose roles remain poorly defined, inhabit this niche. In this study, we isolated a diverse panel of non-Frankia nodular endophytes (NFNE). Some NFNE were isolated from alders grown from surface-sterilized seeds and maintained in sterile conditions, suggesting these may have been seed-borne. In vitro testing of 24 NFNE revealed some possessed putative plant growth promotion traits. Their genomes were also sequenced to identify genes related to plant growth promotion traits. This study highlights the complexity of the alder nodular microbial community. It paves the way for further understanding of the biology of nodules and could help improve land reclamation practices that involve alders.

Abstract
An actinobacterial strain, CMB-FB, was isolated from surface-sterilized root nodules of a Coriaria intermedia plant growing along Halsema Highway in the province of Benguet (Luzon, Philippines). The 16S rRNA gene sequence of CMB-FB showed high sequence similarity to those of the type strains of Streptomyces rishiriensis (99.4 %), Streptomyces humidus (99.1 %), Streptomyces cacaoi subsp. asoensis (99.0 %), and Streptomyces phaeofaciens (98.6 %). The major menaquinones of CMB-FB were composed of MK-9(H4), MK-9(H6) and MK-9(H8), and there was a minor contribution of MK-9(H10). The polar lipid profile consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine, unidentified aminolipids and phospholipids, a glycophospholipid and four unidentified lipids. The diagnostic diamino acid of the peptidoglycan was meso-diaminopimelic acid. The major fatty acids were iso-C16 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0. The results of physiological analysis indicated that CMB-FB was mesophilic. The results of phylogenetic, genome-genome distance calculation and average nucleotide identity analysis indicated that the isolated strain represents the type strain of a novel species. On the basis of these results, strain CMB-FB (=DSM 112754T=LMG 32457T) is proposed as the type strain of the novel species Streptomyces coriariae sp. nov.

Abstract
Coriaria myrtifolia occurs as natural flora of warm temperate
climates of northern Algeria which commonly found in hedges, forest and ravine
edges. This actinorhizal species was known to establish a mutualistic symbiosis
with members of phylogenetic cluster 2 (including strains associated to
Coriaria spp., Ceanothus,
Datiscaceae, and Dryadoideae) within the
genus Frankia. Attempts to isolate C.
myrtifolia microsymbionts from native plants growing in 4 locations
in Algeria permitted to only recover asymbiotic Frankia strains
(unable to reestablish nodulation and to fix nitrogen) from phylogenetic cluster
4 and several non-Frankia actinobacteria including members of
Micrococcus, Micromonospora, Nocardia, Plantactinospora,
and Streptomyces genera. The biodiversity of
Frankia microsymbionts of C. myrtifolia
root nodules was assessed using PCR-amplification followed by partial nucleotide
sequencing of glnA1 (glutamine synthetase type 1) gene. On the
12 different glnA1 gene sequences obtained in this study, 9
were detected for the first time, and were mainly closelyrelated to
Mediterranean genotypes previously described in the Grand Maghreb countries
(Morocco and Tunisia) and in Europe (France) but without clear separations from
other cluster 2 genotypes.

Abstract
Actinorhizal plants host mutualistic symbionts of the nitrogen-fixing actinobacterial genus Frankia within nodule structures formed on their roots. Several plant-growth-promoting bacteria have also been isolated from actinorhizal root nodules, but little is known about them. We were interested investigating the in planta microbial community composition of actinorhizal root nodules using culture-independent techniques. To address this knowledge gap, 16S rRNA gene amplicon and shotgun metagenomic sequencing was performed on DNA from the nodules of Casuarina glauca. DNA was extracted from C. glauca nodules collected in three different sampling sites in Tunisia, along a gradient of aridity ranging from humid to arid. Sequencing libraries were prepared using Illumina NextEra technology and the Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform. Genome bins extracted from the metagenome were taxonomically and functionally profiled. Community structure based off preliminary 16S rRNA gene amplicon data was analyzed via the QIIME pipeline. Reconstructed genomes were comprised of members of Frankia, Micromonospora, Bacillus, Paenibacillus, Phyllobacterium, and Afipia. Frankia dominated the nodule community at the humid sampling site, while the absolute and relative prevalence of Frankia decreased at the semi-arid and arid sampling locations. Actinorhizal plants harbor similar non-Frankia plant-growth-promoting-bacteria as legumes and other plants. The data suggests that the prevalence of Frankia in the nodule community is influenced by environmental factors, with being less abundant under more arid environments.

Abstract
Strain CAP181T, an endophytic actinobacterium, was isolated from a surface sterilized root sample of a native pine tree, Flinders University, Adelaide, South Australia. Chemotaxonomic data including cell wall components, major fatty acids, and major menaquinones confirmed the affiliation of strain CAP181T to the genus Micromonospora. This strain was Gram stain positive with well-developed substrate mycelia to form a single spore with hairy surface. The phylogenetic tree showed that M. coerulea NBRC 13504 T is the closest phylogenetic neighbour, sharing 99.2% 16S rRNA gene similarity and the next closest neighbor is M. chaiyaphumensis DSM 45246 T (98.7%). Genome mining of this strain revealed genes encoding to enzymes relating to nitrogen fixation and bioremediation. Based on genotypic and phenotypic studies including DNA-DNA hybridization data, strain CAP181T was different from any of the closely related species with valid names. The name proposed for the new species is Micromonospora veneta sp. nov. The type strain is CAP181T (= DSM 109713 T = NRRL B-65535 T).

Abstract
A non-motile, straight-rod-shaped, Gram-stain-positive and facultative anaerobic bacterium (i.e., strain G1T) was isolated from production waters from an Algerian oilfield. Growth was observed in the presence of 0.3-3.5 % (w/v) NaCl, at 20-50 °C and at pH 6.0-9.0. Results of phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain G1T belonged to the genus Microbacterium. Strain G1 T was closely related to Microbacterium oxydans (DSM 20578T) and Microbacterium maritypicum (DSM 12512T) with 99.8 % sequence similarity and to Microbacterium saperdae (DSM 20169T) with 99.6 % sequence similarity. Strain G1 T contained MK9, MK10, MK11, MK12 and MK13 as respiratory quinones, and phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol and glycolipid as the major polar lipids. The major cellular fatty acids were anteiso-C15:0, iso-C16:0 and anteiso-C17:0. The estimated DNA G+C content was 69.57 mol% based on its draft genome sequence. Genome annotation of strain G1T predicted the presence of 3511 genes, of which 3483 were protein-coding and 47 were tRNA genes. The DNA-DNA hybridization (DDH) and average nucleotide identity (ANI) values between strain G1T and M. oxydans (DSM 20578T) and M. maritypicum (DSM 12512T) were in both cases far below the respective species boundary thresholds (27.5 and 28.0 % for DDH; and 84.40 and 84.82% for ANI, respectively). Based on the data presented above, strain G1T was considered to represent a novel species for which the name Microbacterium algeriense is proposed with the type strain G1T (=DSM 109018T=LMG 31276T).

Abstract
A Micromonospora strain, designated 5R2A7T, isolated from a high altitude Atacama Desert soil was examined by using a polyphasic approach. Strain 5R2A7T was found to have morphological, chemotaxonomic and cultural characteristics typical of members of the genus Micromonospora. The cell wall contains meso- and hydroxy-diaminopimelic acid, the major whole-cell sugars are glucose, ribose and xylose, the predominant menaquinones MK-10(H4), MK-10(H6), MK-10(H8) and MK-9(H6), the major polar lipids diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol and an unknown glycolipid, and the predominant cellular fatty acids iso-C16 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 and 10-methyl C17 : 0. The digital genomic DNA G+C content is 72.3 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that strain 5R2A7T was closely related to Micromonospora coriariae DSM 44875T (99.8 %) and Micromonospora cremea CR30T (99.7 %), and was separated readily from the latter, its closest phylogenetic neighbour, based on gyrB and multilocus sequence data, by low average nucleotide identity (92.59 %) and in silico DNA-DNA relatedness (51.7 %) values calculated from draft genome assemblies and by a range of chemotaxonomic and phenotypic properties. Consequently, strain 5R2A7T is considered to represent a novel species of Micromonospora for which the name Micromonospora acroterricola sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 5R2A7T (=LMG 30755T=CECT 9656T).

Abstract
A novel endophytic actinomycete strain AZ1-13T was isolated from roots of Azadirachta indica, and its taxonomic position was investigated using a polyphasic approach. Pairwise 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities of strain AZ1-13T and its closest species, Jishegella zingiberis PLAI1-1T and Micromonospora endophytica 202201T, were 99.7 and 99.2 %, respectively. Phylogenetic analyses of the family Micromonosporaceae based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated strains AZ1-13T and J. zingiberis PLAI1-1Tare located within the genus Micromonospora. The approximate genome size of the strain was 5.96 Mb with 71.9 mol% of G+C content. The strain AZ1-13T exhibited ANIb values of 87.4 % with J. zingiberis PLAI1-1T and 85.1 % with M. endophytica 202201T. Chemotaxonomic characteristics of strain AZ1-13T were consistent within the genus Micromonospora: cell-wall peptidoglycan of the strain contained meso-diaminopimelic acid; glucose, mannose, ribose and xylose are presented as the whole-cell sugars; the predominant menaquinones were MK-9(H4) and MK-9(H6); major cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, 10-methyl C17 : 0, C17 : 0, anteiso-C17 : 0 and iso-C17 : 1ω8c; diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylinositol were detected as distinguished phospholipids. Based on phenotypic properties, phylogeny and genomic data, the strain AZ1-13T could be distinguished from its closest neighbours, representing a novel species of the genus Micromonospora, for which the name Micromonospora radicis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is AZ1-13T (=KCTC 39786T=NBRC 112324T=JCM 32147T = TISTR 2404T). This study also proposed that J. zingiberisis transferred to the genus Micromonospora as Micromonospora zingiberis comb. nov. (type strain PLAI1-1T=TBRC 7644T=NBRC 113144T=JCM 32592T).

Abstract
The taxonomic status, biotechnological and ecological potential of several Micromonospora strains isolated from an extreme hyper arid Atacama Desert soil were determined. Initially, a polyphasic study was undertaken to clarify the taxonomic status of five micromonosporae, strains LB4, LB19, LB32T, LB39T and LB41, isolated from an extreme hyper-arid soil collected from one of the driest regions of the Atacama Desert. All of the isolates were found to have chemotaxonomic, cultural and morphological properties consistent with their classification in the genus Micromonospora. Isolates LB32T and LB39T were distinguished from their nearest phylogenetic neighbours and proposed as new species, namely as Micromonospora arida sp. nov. and Micromonospora inaquosa sp. nov., respectively. Eluted methanol extracts of all of the isolates showed activity against a panel of bacterial and fungal indicator strains, notably against multi-drug resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae ATCC 700603 while isolates LB4 and LB41 showed pronounced anti-tumour activity against HepG2 cells. Draft genomes generated for the isolates revealed a rich source of novel biosynthetic gene clusters, some of which were unique to individual strains thereby opening up the prospect of selecting especially gifted micromonosporae for natural product discovery. Key stress-related genes detected in the genomes of all of the isolates provided an insight into how micromonosporae adapt to the harsh environmental conditions that prevail in extreme hyper-arid Atacama Desert soils.

Abstract
Actinorhizal plants form a symbiotic association with the nitrogen-fixing actinobacteria Frankia. These plants have important economic and ecological benefits including land reclamation, soil stabilization, and reforestation. Recently, many non-Frankia actinobacteria have been isolated from actinorhizal root nodules suggesting that they might contribute to nodulation. Two Nocardia strains, BMG51109 and BMG111209, were isolated from Casuarina glauca nodules, and they induced root nodule-like structures in original host plant promoting seedling growth. The formed root nodule-like structures lacked a nodular root at the apex, were not capable of reducing nitrogen and had their cortical cells occupied with rod-shaped Nocardiae cells. Both Nocardia strains induced root hair deformation on the host plant. BMG111209 strain induced the expression of the ProCgNin:Gus gene, a plant gene involved in the early steps of the infection process and nodulation development. Nocardia strain BMG51109 produced three types of auxins (Indole-3-acetic acid [IAA], Indole-3-Byturic Acid [IBA] and Phenyl Acetic Acid [PAA]), while Nocardia BMG111209 only produced IAA. Analysis of the Nocardia genomes identified several important predicted biosynthetic gene clusters for plant phytohormones, secondary metabolites, and novel natural products. Co-infection studies showed that Nocardia strain BMG51109 plays a role as a "helper bacteria" promoting an earlier onset of nodulation. This study raises many questions on the ecological significance and functionality of Nocardia bacteria in actinorhizal symbioses.

Abstract
Innovative procedures were used to selectively isolate small numbers of Micromonospora strains from extreme hyper-arid and high altitude Atacama Desert soils. Micromonosporae were recognised on isolation plates by their ability to produce filamentous microcolonies that were strongly attached to the agar. Most of the isolates formed characteristic orange colonies that lacked aerial hyphae and turned black on spore formation, whereas those from the high altitude soil were dry, blue-green and covered by white aerial hyphae. The isolates were assigned to seven multi- and eleven single-membered groups based on BOX-PCR profiles. Representatives of the groups were assigned to either multi-membered clades that also contained marker strains or formed distinct phyletic lines in the Micromonospora 16S rRNA gene tree; many of the isolates were considered to be putatively novel species of Micromonospora. Most of the isolates from the high altitude soils showed activity against wild type strains of Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas fluorescens while those from the rhizosphere of Parastrephia quadrangulares and from the Lomas Bayas hyper-arid soil showed resistance to UV radiation.

Abstract
A novel endophytic actinomycete, strain WPS1-2T, isolated from a root of Globba winitii C. H. Wright, was characterized taxonomically by using a polyphasic approach. Strain WPS1-2T exhibited identical characteristics to the members of the genus Micromonospora. Single spores were observed directly on substrate mycelia. The cell-wall peptidoglycan of the strain contained meso-diaminopimelic acid and 3-OH-meso-diaminopimelic acid. Whole-cell hydrolysates contained glucose, ribose, arabinose and xylose. The predominant menaquinones were MK-10(H8) and MK-10(H10). The major cellular fatty acids consisted of iso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 and anteiso-C15 : 0. According to the 16S rRNA gene sequence of the strain, WPS1-2T showed highest similarity to Micromonospora costi CS1-12T (99.02 %). Phylogenetic analysis of the gyrase subunit B (gyrB) gene indicated that the strain was related to M. costi CS1-12T. The DNA G+C content was 73.7 mol%. The strain could be distinguished from closely related type strains by using a combination of morphological, chemotaxonomic, physiological and biochemical data together with DNA-DNA relatedness values. Based on these observations, strain WPS1-2T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Micromonospora, for which the name Micromonospora globbae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is WPS1-2T (=KCTC 39787T=NBRC 112325T=TISTR 2405T).

Abstract
There is a need to clarify relationships within the actinobacterial genus Micromonospora, the type genus of the family Micromonosporaceae, given its biotechnological and ecological importance. Here, draft genomes of 40 Micromonospora type strains and two non-type strains are made available through the Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea project and used to generate a phylogenomic tree which showed they could be assigned to well supported phyletic lines that were not evident in corresponding trees based on single and concatenated sequences of conserved genes. DNA G+C ratios derived from genome sequences showed that corresponding data from species descriptions were imprecise. Emended descriptions include precise base composition data and approximate genome sizes of the type strains. antiSMASH analyses of the draft genomes show that micromonosporae have a previously unrealised potential to synthesize novel specialized metabolites. Close to one thousand biosynthetic gene clusters were detected, including NRPS, PKS, terpenes and siderophores clusters that were discontinuously distributed thereby opening up the prospect of prioritising gifted strains for natural product discovery. The distribution of key stress related genes provide an insight into how micromonosporae adapt to key environmental variables. Genes associated with plant interactions highlight the potential use of micromonosporae in agriculture and biotechnology.

The taxonomic status of these isolates was determined using a polyphasic approach and both presented chemotaxonomic and morphological properties consistent with their classification in the genus Micromonospora. For strains SG15T and SGB14T, the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities were observed with Micromonospora coxensis JCM 13248T (99.2 %) and Micromonospora purpureochromogenes DSM 43821T (99.4 %), respectively. However, strains SG15T and SGB14T were readily distinguished from their phylogenetic neighbours both genetically and phenotypically indicating that they represent two new Micromonospora species. The following names are proposed for these species: Micromonosporaphytophila sp. nov. type strain SG15T (=CECT 9369T; =DSM 105363T), and Micromonosporaluteiviridis sp. nov. type strain SGB14T (=CECT 9370T; =DSM 105362T).

Abstract
The discovery that the actinobacterium Micromonospora inhabits nitrogen-fixing nodules raised questions as to its potential ecological role. The capacity of two Micromonospora strains to infect legumes other than their original host, Lupinus angustifolius, was investigated using Medicago and Trifolium as test plants. Compatible rhizobial strains were used for coinoculation of the plants because Micromonospora itself does not induce nodulation. Over 50% of nodules from each legume housed Micromonospora, and using 16S rRNA gene sequence identification, we verified that the reisolated strains corresponded to the microorganisms inoculated. Entry of the bacteria and colonization of the plant hosts were monitored using a GFP-tagged Lupac 08 mutant together with rhizobia, and by using immunogold labeling. Strain Lupac 08 was localized in plant tissues, confirming its capacity to enter and colonize all hosts. Based on studying three different plants, our results support a non-specific relationship between Micromonospora and legumes. Micromonospora Lupac 08, originally isolated from Lupinus re-enters root tissue, but only when coinoculated with the corresponding rhizobia. The ability of Micromonospora to infect and colonize different legume species and function as a potential plant-growth promoting bacterium is relevant because this microbe enhances the symbiosis without interfering with the host and its nodulating and nitrogen-fixing microbes.

Abstract
An endophytic actinobacterium, strain TMS7T, was isolated from the stem of a Thai medicinal plant collected from the grounds of the Phujong-Nayoa National park, Ubon Ratchathani province, Thailand. As a result of a polyphasic taxonomy study, this strain was identified as a member of the genus Micromonospora. This strain was a Gram-stain-positive, aerobic actinobacterium with well-developed substrate mycelium with hyphae forming a single microspore was non-motile. Stran TMS7T was identified according to its 16S rRNA gene sequence as a new member of the genus Micromonospora. The closest phylogenetic members sharing a similarity were Micromonospora chersina DSM 44151T at 99.4 % and Micromonospora rosaria DSM 803T, Micromonospora tulbaghiae TVU1T, Micromonospora inositola DSM 43819T and Micromonospora endolithica DSM 44398T all at 99.2 %. Chemotaxonomic data including cell wall components, major menaquinones and major fatty acids confirmed the affiliation of strain TMS7T to the genus Micromonospora. The results of the phylogenetic analysis, addition to physiological and biochemical studies in combination with DNA-DNA hybridization, allowed the genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of strain TMS7T and the most closely related species with validly published names. The name proposed for the novel species is Micromonospora terminaliae sp. nov. The type strain is TMS7T (=DSM 101760T=NRRL B-65345T).

Abstract
Micromonospora genus produces >700 bioactive compounds of medical relevance. In spite of its ability to produce high number of bioactive compounds, no genome sequence is available with comprehensive secondary metabolite gene clusters analysis for anti-microbial producing Micromonospora strains. Thus, here we contribute the full genome sequence of Micromonospora sp. HK10 strain, which has high antibacterial activity against several important human pathogens like, Mycobacterium abscessus, Mycobacterium smegmatis, Bacillus subtillis, Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella and Escherichia coli. We have generated whole genome sequence data of Micromonospora sp. HK10 strain using Illumina NexSeq 500 sequencing platform (2×150bp paired end library) and assembled it de novo. The sequencing of HK10 genome enables identification of various genetic clusters associated with known- and probably unknown- antimicrobial compounds, which can pave the way for new antimicrobial scaffolds.

Abstract
Three actinobacterial strains were isolated from roots of the salt-marsh plant Halimione portulacoides collected in Ria de Aveiro, Portugal. Molecular typing using enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus ERIC-PCR fingerprinting showed the strains to be highly similar. Phylogenetic analyses based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence and multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) using gyrB, rpoB, recA and ppk and 16S rRNA genes sequences showed that the strains represented a member of the genus Microbacterium, with Microbacterium lacus DSM 18910T as the closest phylogenetic relative. DNA-DNA hybridization between strain RZ63T and its closest relative was below 70 %, supporting the hypothesis that it represented a distinct genomic species. Chemotaxonomic analyses of the novel strains and their DNA G+C contents confirmed their affiliation to the genus Microbacterium, however, the peptidoglycan of RZ63T contained diaminobutyric acid as the diagnostic diamino acid. In addition, physiological and fatty acid analyses revealed differences between these strains and their phylogenetic relatives, reinforcing their status as a distinct species. Based on the physiological, genetic and chemotaxonomic characterisation it is proposed that the strains studied represent a novel species of the genus Microbacterium for which the name Microbacterium diaminobutyricum sp. nov. is proposed (type strain RZ63T=DSM 27101T=CECT 8355T).

Abstract
Three novel actinobacterial strains, GUI2(T), GUI42 and CR21 isolated from nodular tissues and the rhizosphere of a sweet pea plant collected in Cañizal, Spain were identified according to their 16S rRNA gene sequences as new members of the genus Micromonospora. The closest phylogenetic members were found to be Micromonospora saelicesensis (99.2%) "Micromonospora zeae" (99.1%), "Micromonospora jinlongensis" (99%), Micromonospora lupini (98.9%) and Micromonospora zamorensis (98.8%). To resolve their full taxonomic position, four additional genes (atpD, gyrB, recA, rpoB) were partially sequenced and compared to available Micromonospora type strain sequences. DNA-DNA hybridization, BOX-PCR and ARDRA profiles confirmed that these strains represent a novel genomic species. All strains contained meso-diaminopimelic and hydroxy-diaminopimelic acids in their cell wall. Their fatty acid profiles comprised iso-C15:0, iso-C16:0 and anteiso-C15:0 as major components. The polar lipids diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylinositol were found in the type strain GUI2(T) which also contained MK-10(H4) as the major menaquinone. Physiological and biochemical characteristics also differentiated the new isolates. Based on the integration of the above studies, strains GUI2(T), GUI42 and CR21 represent a novel Micromonospora species and we propose the name Micromonospora luteifusca sp. nov. The type strain is GUI2(T) (=CECT 8846(T); =DSM 100204(T)).

Abstract
For a long time, it was believed that a healthy plant did not harbor any microorganisms within its tissues, as these were often considered detrimental for the plant. In the last three decades, the numbers of studies on plant microbe-interactions has led to a change in our view and we now know that many of these invisible partners are essential for the overall welfare of the plant. The application of Next Generation Sequencing techniques is a powerful tool that has permitted the detection and identification of microbial communities in healthy plants. Among the new plant microbe interactions recently reported several actinobacteria such as Micromonospora are included. Micromonospora is a Gram-positive bacterium with a wide geographical distribution; it can be found in the soil, mangrove sediments, and freshwater and marine ecosistems. In the last years our group has focused on the isolation of Micromonospora strains from nitrogen fixing nodules of both leguminous and actinorhizal plants and reported for the first time its wide distribution in nitrogen fixing nodules of both types of plants. These studies have shown how this microoganism had been largely overlooked in this niche due to its slow growth. Surprisingly, the genetic diversity of Micromonospora strains isolated from nodules is very high and several new species have been described. The current data indicate that Micromonospora saelicesensis is the most frequently isolated species from the nodular tissues of both leguminous and actinorhizal plants. Further studies have also been carried out to confirm the presence of Micromonospora inside the nodule tissues, mainly by specific in situ hybridization. The information derived from the genome of the model strain, Micromonospora lupini, Lupac 08, has provided useful information as to how this bacterium may relate with its host plant. Several strategies potentially necessary for Micromonospora to thrive in the soil, a highly competitive, and rough environment, and as an endophytic bacterium with the capacity to colonize the internal plant tissues which are protected from the invasion of other soil microbes were identified. The genome data also revealed the potential of M. lupini Lupac 08 as a plant growth promoting bacterium. Several loci involved in plant growth promotion features such as the production of siderophores, phytohormones, and the degradation of chitin (biocontrol) were also located on the genome and the functionality of these genes was confirmed in the laboratory. In addition, when several host plants species were inoculated with Micromonospora strains, the plant growth enhancing effect was evident under greenhouse conditions. Unexpectedly, a high number of plant-cell wall degrading enzymes were also detected, a trait usually found only in pathogenic bacteria. Thus, Micromonospora can be added to the list of new plant-microbe interactions. The current data indicate that this microorganism may have an important application in agriculture and other biotechnological processes. The available information is promising but limited, much research is still needed to determine which is the ecological function of Micromonospora in interaction with nitrogen fixing plants.

Abstract
The novel actinomycete strain PWB-003T, which produced fluostatins B and C antibiotics, was isolated from nearshore sediment collected from Panwa Cape, Phuket Province, Thailand. Data from the present polyphasic study indicated that strain PWB-003T represented a member of the genus Micromonospora. It produced single spores on substrate mycelia and contained meso-diaminopimelic acid in the cell-wall peptidoglycan. Whole-cell hydrolysate contained ribose, xylose, arabinose, mannose and glucose. The predominant menaquinone was MK-10 (H4). Cellular fatty acids comprised C18 : 1ω9c, iso-C16 : 0, anteiso-C17 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C17 : 0. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity analysis, the novel strain was closely related to Micromonospora eburnea LK2-10T (99.38 %), Micromonospora chaiyaphumensis MC5-1T (99.16 %), Micromonospora yangpuensis FXJ6.011T (98.97 %), Micromonospora echinaurantiaca DSM 43904T (98.97 %), Micromonospora pallida DSM 43817T (98.97 %), Micromonospora sagamiensis DSM 43912T and Micromonospora auratinigra JCM 12357T (both 98.97 %). The G+C content of the DNA was 74.5 mol%. DNA-DNA relatedness values among strain PWB-003T and related type strains ranged from 11.3 ± 1.3 to 38.8 ± 1.1 %. On the basis of these observations, strain PWB-003T could be distinguished from its closely related type strains and is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Micromonospora, for which the name Micromonospora fluostatini sp. nov. (type strain PWB-003T = JCM 30529T = PCU 341T = TISTR 2345T) is proposed.

Abstract
An endophytic actinobacterial strain RZ36T, isolated from roots of the salt-marsh plant Halimione portulacoides, was subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic characterization. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that this strain belonged to the genus
Microbacterium
. The closest phylogenetic relative was
Microbacterium hominis
DSM 12509T, with a pairwise 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 98.8 %. The DNA–DNA hybridization value between strain RZ36T and
M. hominis
DSM 12509T was 16 %. The affiliation to the genus
Microbacterium
was corroborated by phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics. The cell-wall peptidoglycan type was B2β and the diagnostic diamino acid was ornithine. Whole-cell sugars detected were galactose, glucose, rhamnose, ribose and xylose. The major fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0 and the major menaquinone was MK-11 (64 %). Main polar lipids consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and two unknown glycolipids. The genomic DNA G+C content was 69.7 mol%. Thus, on the basis of phenotypic, genotypic and chemotaxonomic data, strain RZ36T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus
Microbacterium
, for which the name Microbacterium proteolyticum sp. nov. (type strain RZ36T = DSM 27100T = CECT 8356T) is proposed.

Abstract
Fifteen actinobacterial isolates retrieved from the endophytic community of the salt-marsh plant Halimione portulacoides were characterised in this study. ERIC-PCR fingerprinting analysis divided these isolates into two groups represented by strains PA15(T) and PA36(T), respectively. 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses showed the isolates belonged to the genus Microbacterium, with Microbacterium saccharophilum NCIMB 14782(T) as the closest phylogenetic relative to which they have pairwise sequence similarities of 98.7-98.8%. Strains PA15(T) and PA36(T) are closely related having a pairwise sequence similarity of 99.8%. However, DNA-DNA hybridization result between both was well under 70% confirming them as distinct genomic species. Both strains have a B2β peptidoglycan type with ornithine as diaminoacid, MK-10 and MK-11 as major menaquinones, anteiso-C15:0, anteiso-C17:0 and iso-C16:0 as major fatty acids. These features as well as DNA-DNA hybridization results clearly separate them from M. saccharophilum. On the basis of physiological, chemotaxonomic and genetic characteristics we propose that the isolates studied represent two novel species of the genus Microbacterium, Microbacterium endophyticum sp. nov. (type strain PA15(T)=DSM 27099(T)=CECT 8354(T)) and Microbacterium halimionae sp. nov. (type strain PA36(T)=DSM 27576(T)=CECT 8593(T)).

Abstract
Actinorhizal plants have been found in eight genera belonging to three orders (Fagales, Rosales and Cucurbitales). These all bear root nodules inhabited by bacteria identified as the nitrogen-fixing actinobacterium Frankia. These nodules all have a peripheral cortex with enlarged cells filled with Frankia hyphae and vesicles. Isolation in pure culture has been notoriously difficult, due in a large part to the growth of fast-growing contaminants where, it was later found, Frankia was slow-growing. Many of these contaminants, which were later found to be Micromonospora, were obtained from Casuarina and Coriaria. Our study was aimed at determining if Micromonospora were also present in other actinorhizal plants. Nodules from Alnus glutinosa, Alnus viridis, Coriaria myrtifolia, Elaeagnus x ebbingei, Hippophae rhamnoides, Myrica gale and Morella pensylvanica were tested and were all found to contain Micromonospora isolates. These were found to belong to mainly three species: Micromonospora lupini, Micromonospora coriariae and Micromonospora saelicesensis. Micromonospora isolates were found to inhibit some Frankia strains and to be innocuous to other strains.

Abstract
Lake Hévíz is the largest natural warm water lake of Europe. The curative mud of the lake comprises volcanic and marsh components although their species composition is hardly known yet. The aim of the present study was to gain information about the distribution and species diversity of bacterial communities inhabiting the sediment of Lake Hévíz using cultivation-based and molecular cloning methods. Samples from two depths and locations were taken in 2004 and 2007. Representatives of the altogether 255 bacterial isolates were affiliated with the phyla Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes. The most abundant groups belonged to the genus Bacillus (Firmicutes). Many of Lake Hévíz isolates showed the highest sequence similarity to bacteria known to be plant associated or members of normal human microbiota as well as participating in decomposition of highly resistant organic materials. In the three clone libraries, phylotypes belonging to altogether different phyla (Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Cyanobacteria, Chlorobi, Chloroflexi, Deferribacteres, Nitrospirae, Spirochaetes and Verrucomicrobia) were revealed from which members of Gammaproteobacteria and Cyanobacteria proved to be the most abundant. Regardless of the sampling times and methodology used, high spatial heterogeneities of bacterial community structures were characteristic of the sediment of Lake Hévíz.

Abstract
A filamentous actinomycete strain designated CR18(T) was isolated on humic acid agar from the rhizosphere of a Pisum sativum plant collected in Spain. This isolate was observed to grow optimally at 28 °C, pH 7.0 and in the presence of 5 % NaCl. Phylogenetic analyses based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated a close relationship with the type strains of Micromonospora chersina and Micromonospora endolithica. A further analysis based on a concatenated DNA sequence stretch of 4,523 bp that included partial sequences of the atpD, gyrB, recA, rpoB and 16S rRNA genes clearly differentiated the new strain from recognized Micromonospora species compared. DNA-DNA hybridization studies further supported the taxonomic position of strain CR18(T) as a novel genomic species. Chemotaxonomic analyses which included whole cell sugars, polar lipids, fatty acid profiles and menaquinone composition confirmed the affiliation of the new strain to the genus Micromonospora and also highlighted differences at the species level. These studies were finally complemented with an array of physiological tests to help differentiate between the new strain and its phylogenetic neighbours. Consequently, strain CR18(T) (= CECT 7890(T) = DSM 45598(T)) is proposed as the type strain of a novel species, Micromonospora halotolerans sp. nov.

Abstract
Two actinomycete strains were isolated from within the fynbos-rich area surrounded by the horseracing track at Kenilworth Racecourse in Cape Town, South Africa. Rapid molecular identification indicated that the isolates belonged to the family
Micromonosporaceae
. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence blast analysis, the isolates were identified as members of the genus
Micromonospora
. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the isolates clustered with each other and were most closely related to
Micromonospora viridifaciens
DSM 43909T. Further 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis using EzTaxon revealed that the isolates are closely related to
Micromonospora auratinigra
TT1-11T,
Micromonospora chaiyaphumensis
MC5-1T,
Micromonospora eburnea
LK2-10T,
Micromonospora nigra
DSM 43818T and
Micromonospora olivasterospora
DSM 43868T. DNA–DNA hybridization and physiological tests allowed genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of both isolates from related species; however, their high DNA–DNA relatedness showed that they belong to the same genomic species. Strain Y22T ( = DSM 45644T = NRRL B-24859T) was selected as the type strain to represent this novel species, for which the name Micromonospora equina sp. nov. is proposed.

Abstract
Three actinobacterial strains, CR30(T), CR36 and CR38(T), were isolated from rhizosphere soil of Pisum sativum plants collected in Spain. The strains were filamentous, Gram-stain-positive and produced single spores. Phylogenetic, chemotaxonomic and morphological analyses confirmed that the three strains belonged to the genus Micromonospora. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis of strains CR30(T) and CR36 showed a close relationship to Micromonospora coriariae NAR01(T) (99.3% similarity) while strain CR38(T) had a similarity of 99.0% with Micromonospora saelicesensis Lupac 09(T). In addition, gyrB gene phylogeny clearly differentiated the novel isolates from recognized Micromonospora species. DNA-DNA hybridization, BOX-PCR and ARDRA profiles confirmed that these strains represent novel genomic species. The cell-wall peptidoglycan of strains CR30(T) and CR38(T) contained meso-diaminopimelic acid. Both strains had MK-10(H(4)) as the main menaquinone and a phospholipid type II pattern. An array of physiological tests also differentiated the isolates from their closest neighbours. Considering all the data obtained, it is proposed that strains CR30(T) and CR36 represent a novel species under the name Micromonospora cremea sp. nov. (type strain CR30(T) = CECT 7891(T) = DSM 45599(T)), whereas CR38(T) represents a second novel species, for which the name Micromonospora zamorensis sp. nov. is proposed, with CR38(T) ( = CECT 7892(T) = DSM 45600(T)) as the type strain.

Abstract
An actinomycete strain, designated strain SH2-13(T), was isolated from a marine sediment sample collected from the Andaman Sea of Thailand. Applying a polyphasic approach, the isolate was identified as a member of the genus Micromonospora using morphological and chemotaxonomic characteristics, including the presence of meso-diaminopimelic acid in the peptidoglycan. Whole-cell sugars were arabinose, galactose, glucose, rhamnose, ribose and xylose. Diagnostic polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol mannosides and phosphoglycolipids. The major menaquinones were MK-10(H(2)), MK-10(H(4)) and MK-10(H(6)). 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed similarity to Micromonospora marina JSM1-1(T) (99.1 %), Micromonospora coxensis 2-30-b(28)(T) (99.1 %), Micromonospora aurantiaca DSM 43813(T) (98.8 %) and Micromonospora chalcea DSM 43026(T) (98.7 %). However, a combination of DNA-DNA hybridization results and phenotypic properties indicated that strain SH2-13(T) ( = NBRC 107934(T) = BCC 45601(T)) should be classified as the type strain of a novel species, with the proposed name Micromonospora sediminicola sp. nov.

Abstract
It was recently reported that Micromonospora inhabits the intracellular tissues of nitrogen fixing nodules of the wild legume Lupinus angustifolius. To determine if Micromonospora populations are also present in nitrogen fixing nodules of cultivated legumes such as Pisum sativum, we carried out the isolation of this actinobacterium from P. sativum plants collected in two man-managed fields in the region of Castilla and León (Spain). In this work, we describe the isolation of 93 Micromonospora strains recovered from nitrogen fixing nodules and the rhizosphere of P. sativum. The genomic diversity of the strains was analyzed by amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis (ARDRA). Forty-six isolates and 34 reference strains were further analyzed using a multilocus sequence analysis scheme developed to address the phylogeny of the genus Micromonospora and to evaluate the species distribution in the two studied habitats. The MLSA results were evaluated by DNA-DNA hybridization to determine their usefulness for the delineation of Micromonospora at the species level. In most cases, DDH values below 70% were obtained with strains that shared a sequence similarity of 98.5% or less. Thus, MLSA studies clearly supported the established taxonomy of the genus Micromonospora and indicated that genomic species could be delineated as groups of strains that share > 98.5% sequence similarity based on the 5 genes selected. The species diversity of the strains isolated from both the rhizosphere and nodules was very high and in many cases the new strains could not be related to any of the currently described species.

Abstract
A SYBR Green based qPCR method was developed for the quantification of clusters 1 and 3 of the actinomycete Frankia in soils. Primer nifHr158 was designed to be used as reverse primer in combination with forward primer nifHf1 specifically amplifying a 191-bp fragment of the nifH gene of these Frankia. The primer combination was tested for specificity on selected pure cultures, and by comparative sequence analyses of randomly selected clones of a clone library generated with these primers from soil DNA extracts. After adjustments of DNA extraction conditions, and the determination of extraction efficiencies used for sample normalization, copy numbers of nifH genes representing Frankia of clusters 1 and 3 were quantified in different mineral soils, resulting in cell density estimates for these Frankia of up to 10(6) cells [g soil {dry weight}](-1) depending on the soil. Despite indications that the nifH gene is not a perfect target for the quantification of Frankia, the qPCR method described here provides a new tool for the quantification and thus a more complete examination of the ecology of Frankia in soils.

Abstract
An actinomycete, strain FXJ6.011T, was isolated from a cup-shaped sponge collected at Dachan reef, Yangpu in the South China Sea. The strain had morphological characteristics of members of the family Micromonosporaceae. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain FXJ6.011T indicated the highest similarity (98.7 %) to Micromonospora auratinigra JCM 12357T, Micromonospora chaiyaphumensis JCM 12873T and Micromonospora echinofusca JCM 3327T. Analysis of the gyrB gene sequence also showed that strain FXJ6.011T should be assigned to the genus Micromonospora. It contained dd-diaminopimelic acid as the major cell-wall diamino acid and MK-10(H2) as predominant menaquinone. The polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidyl mannosides and phosphatidylinositol dimannoside. The major cellular fatty acids were iso-C16 : 0, C17 : 1ω8c and C16 : 0. Physiological and biochemical data and low DNA–DNA relatedness values enabled the strain to be differentiated from members of closely related species. Based on phenotypic and genotypic data, strain FXJ6.011T represents a novel Micromonospora species, for which the name Micromonospora yangpuensis sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is FXJ6.011T ( = CGMCC 4.5736T = NBRC 107727T).
