Abstract
During a study on the diversity of culturable actinobacteria from coastal halophytes in Thailand, strain LSe6-5T was isolated from leaves of sea purslane (Sesuvium portulacastrum L.), and a polyphasic approach was employed to determine its taxonomic position. The 16S rRNA gene sequences analysis indicated that the strain was most closely related to Klenkia brasiliensis Tu 6233T (99.2 %), Klenkia marina YIM M13156T (99.1 %), and Klenkia terrae PB261T (98.7 %). The genome of strain LSe6-5T was estimated to be 4.33 Mbp in size, with DNA G+C contents of 74.3%. A phylogenomic tree based on whole-genome sequences revealed that strain LSe6-5T formed a clade with Klenkia marina DSM 45722T, indicating their close relationship. However, the average nucleotide identity (ANI)-blast, ANI-MUMmer, and dDDH values between strain LSe6-5T with K. marina DSM 45722T (87.1, 88.9, and 33.0 %) were below the thresholds of 95-96 % ANI and 70 % dDDH for identifying a novel species. Furthermore, strain LSe6-5T showed morphological and chemotaxonomic characteristics of the genus Klenkia. Cells were motile, rod-shaped, and Gram-stain-positive. Optimal growth of strain LSe6-5T occurred at 28 °C, pH 7.0, and 0-3 % NaCl. The whole-cell hydrolysates contained meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid, with galactose, glucose, mannose, and ribose as whole-cell sugars. The predominant menaquinones were MK-9(H4) and MK-9(H0). The polar lipid profile was composed of diphosphatidylglycerol, hydroxyphosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, glycophosphatidylinositol, an unidentified phospholipid, and an unidentified lipid. Major cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0, and iso-C17 : 0. From the distinct phylogenetic position and combination of genotypic and phenotypic characteristics, it is supported that strain LSe6-5T represents a novel species of the genus Klenkia, for which the name Klenkia sesuvii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is strain LSe6-5T (=TBRC 16417T= NBRC 115929T).

Abstract
A polyphasic approach was used to characterize two novel actinobacterial strains, designated PKS22-38T and LSe1-13T, which were isolated from mangrove soils and leaves of halophyte Sesuvium portulacastrum (L.), respectively. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that they belonged to the genus Gordonia and were most closely related to three validly published species with similarities ranging from 98.6 to 98.1 %. The genomic DNA G+C contents of strains PKS22-38T and LSe1-13T were 67.3 and 67.2 mol%, respectively. The average nucleotide identity (ANI) and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) values between the two strains were 93.3 and 54.9 %, respectively, revealing that they are independent species. Meanwhile, the ANI and dDDH values between the two novel strains and closely related type strains were below 80.5 and 24.0 %, respectively. Strains PKS22-38T and LSe1-13T contained C16 : 0, C18 : 1 ω9c and C18 : 0 10-methyl (TBSA) as the major fatty acids and diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylinositol as the main phospholipids. The predominant menaquinone was MK-9(H2). Based on phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, phylogenetic and genomic data, strains PKS22-38T and LSe1-13T are considered to represent two novel species within the genus Gordonia, for which the names Gordonia prachuapensis sp. nov. and Gordonia sesuvii sp. nov. are proposed, with strain PKS22-38T (=TBRC 17540T=NBRC 116256T) and strain LSe1-13T (=TBRC 17706T=NBRC 116396T) as the type strains, respectively.

Abstract
During the course of the isolation of actinobacteria from sweet potato field soils collected from Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya province of Thailand, strain TS4A08T was isolated and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic approach. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis of strain TS4A08T revealed that it is closely related to the type strains of Saccharopolyspora aridisoli, and Saccharopolyspora endophytica with 98.7%, and 98.6% similarity, respectively. However, phylogenetic analyses using 16S rRNA gene and genome sequences indicated that strain TS4A08T clustered with Saccharopolyspora flava AS4.1520T (98.2% similarity), well-supported by bootstrap values, and formed distinct line from the two closest strains. The average nucleotide identity (ANI) values and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) values between the genome sequences of strain TS4A08T and the closest type strains of S. aridisoli, S. endophytica, and S. flava, were 86.1-93.2% and 33.1-49.6%, respectively, which were less than the threshold for the species delineation. The genome size and the DNA G + C content of strain TS4A08T were 6.6 Mbp and 70.5%, respectively. The strain grew well at 25-37 °C, pH range of 7-9, and NaCl concentration of 0-5% (w/v). Whole-cell hydrolysates contained meso-diaminopimelic acid. The major fatty acids were iso-C16:0, anteiso-C17:0, and iso-C15:0. Strain TS4A08T exhibited phosphatidylcholine in its polar lipid profile, with MK-9(H4) being the predominant isoprenologue. The strain exhibits typical chemotaxonomic properties of the genus Saccharopolyspora, including arabinose, galactose, and ribose as whole-cell sugars. Strain TS4A08T represents a novel species within the genus Saccharopolyspora, for which the name Saccharopolyspora ipomoeae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is TS4A08T (= TBRC 17271T = NBRC 115967T).

Abstract
Duckweed-associated actinobacteria are co-existing microbes that affect duckweed growth and adaptation. In this study, we aimed to report a novel actinobacterium species and explore its ability to enhance duckweed growth. Strain DW7H6T was isolated from duckweed, Lemna aequinoctialis. Phylogenetic analysis based on its 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that the strain was most closely related to Actinomycetospora straminea IY07-55T (99.0%), Actinomycetospora chibensis TT04-21T (98.9%), Actinomycetospora lutea TT00-04T (98.8%) and Actinomycetospora callitridis CAP 335T (98.4%). Chemotaxonomic and morphological characteristics of strain DW7H6T were consistent with members of the genus Actinomycetospora, while average nucleotide identity (ANI) and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) between the draft genomes of this strain and its closely related type strains were below the proposed threshold values used for species discrimination. Based on chemotaxonomic, phylogenetic, phenotypic, and genomic evidence obtained, we describe a novel Actinomycetospora species, for which the name Actinomycetospora lemnae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is DW7H6T (TBRC 15165T, NBRC 115294T). Additionally, the duckweed-associated actinobacterium strain DW7H6T was able to enhance duckweed growth when compared to the control, in which the number of fronds and biomass dry weight were increased by up to 1.4 and 1.3 fold, respectively. Moreover, several plant-associated gene features in the genome of strain DW7H6T potentially involved in plant-microbe interactions were identified.

Abstract
The taxonomic position of two novel Actinoallomurus strains isolated from rhizosphere soil of wild rice (Oryza rufipogon Griff.) was established using a polyphasic approach. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strains WRP6H-15T and WRP9H-5T were closely related to Actinoallomurus spadix JCM 3146T and Actinoallomurus purpureus TTN02-30T. Chemotaxonomic and morphological characteristics of both strains were consistent with members of the genus Actinoallomurus, while phenotypic properties, genome-based comparisons and phylogenomic analyses distinguished strains WRP6H-15T and WRP9H-5T from their closest phylogenetic relatives. The two strains showed nearly identical 16S rRNA gene sequences (99.9 %). Strain WRP6H-15T showed 68.7 % digital DNA-DNA hybridization, 95.9 % average nucleotide identity (ANI) based on blast and 96.4 % ANI based on MUMmer to strain WRP9H-5T. A phylogenomic tree based on draft genome sequences of the strains and representative of the genus Actinoallomurus confirmed the phylogenetic relationships. The genomes sizes of strains WRP6H-15T and WRP9H-5T were 9.42 Mb and 9.68 Mb, with DNA G+C contents of 71.5 and 71.3 mol%, respectively. In silico analysis predicted that the strains contain biosynthetic gene clusters encoding for specialized metabolites. Characterization based on chemotaxonomic, phylogenetic, phenotypic and genomic evidence demonstrated that strains WRP6H-15T and WRP9H-5T represent two novel species of the genus Actinoallomurus, for which the names Actinoallomurus soli sp. nov. (type strain WRP6H-15T=TBRC 15726T=NBRC 115556T) and Actinoallomurus rhizosphaericola sp. nov. (type strain WRP9H-5T=TBRC 15727T=NBRC 115557T) are proposed.

Abstract
A novel actinobacterium, designated as strain WRP15-2T, was isolated from rhizosphere soil of rice plant (Oryza rufipogon). The strain was Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, and non-motile. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain WRP15-2T fell into the genus Saccharopolyspora. The strain shared the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with the type strains Saccharopolyspora kobensis JCM 9109T (99.1%), Saccharopolyspora indica VRC122T (98.9%), and Saccharopolyspora antimicrobica DSM 45119T (98.7%). However, the digital DNA-DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity values among these strains confirmed that the microorganism represented a novel member of the genus Saccharopolyspora. Chemotaxonomic data revealed that strain WRP15-2T possessed MK-9(H4) as the predominant menaquinone. It contained meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diaminopimelic acid and arabinose, galactose, and ribose as predominant whole-cell sugars. The detected phospholipids were dominated by phosphatidylethanolamine, hydroxy-phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylmethylethanolamine, hydroxy-phosphatidylmethylethanolamine, and phosphatidylcholine. The predominant cellular fatty acids were iso-C16:0, C16:0, and iso-C15:0. The G + C content of the genomic DNA was 69.5%. Based on these genotypic and phenotypic data, it is supported that strain WRP15-2T represents a novel species of the genus Saccharopolyspora, for which the name Saccharopolyspora oryzae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is WRP15-2T ( = TBRC 15728T = NBRC 115560T).

Abstract
Two novel actinobacterial strains, designated RB6PN23T and K1PA1T, were isolated from peat swamp soil samples in Thailand and characterized using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. The strains were filamentous Gram-stain-positive bacteria containing ll-diaminopimelic acid in their whole-cell hydrolysates. Phylogenetic analysis of their 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain RB6PN23T was most closely related to Streptomyces rubrisoli (99.1 % sequence similarity) and Streptomyces ferralitis (98.5%), while strain K1PA1T showed 98.8 and 98.7% sequence similarities to Streptomyces coacervatus and Streptomyces griseoruber, respectively. However, the average nucleotide identity (ANI) and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) values were below the species-level thresholds (95-96 % ANI and 70 % dDDH). The genomes of strains RB6PN23T and K1PA1T were estimated to be 7.88 Mbp and 7.39 Mbp in size, respectively, with DNA G+C contents of 70.2 and 73.2 mol%. Moreover, strains RB6PN23T and K1PA1T encode 37 and 24 putative biosynthetic gene clusters, respectively, and in silico analysis revealed that these new species have a high potential to produce unique natural products. Genotypic and phenotypic characteristics confirmed that strains RB6PN23T and K1PA1T represented two novel species in the genus Streptomyces. The names proposed for these strains are Streptomyces silvisoli sp. nov. (type strain RB6PN23T=TBRC 17040T=NBRC 116113T) and Streptomyces tropicalis sp. nov. (type strain K1PA1T=TBRC 17041T=NBRC 116114T). Additionally, a giant linear polyene compound, neotetrafibricin A, exhibiting antifungal activity in strain RB6PN23T, was identified through HPLC and quadrupole time-of-flight MS analysis. The crude extract from the culture broth of strain RB6PN23T exhibited strong antifungal activity against Fusarium verticillioides, Fusarium fujikuroi and Bipolaris zeicola. This finding suggests that strain RB6PN23T could be a promising candidate for biological control of fungal diseases.

Abstract
A polyphasic approach was used to describe two halophilic actinobacterial strains, designated LSu2-4T and RSe5-2T, which were isolated from halophytes [Suaeda maritima (L.) Dum. and Sesuvium portulacastrum (L.) L.] collected from Prachuap Khiri Khan province, Thailand. Comparative analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strains LSu2-4T and RSe5-2T were assigned to the genus Nocardiopsis, with Nocardiopsis chromatogenes YIM 90109T(99.2 and 99.2 % similarities, respectively) and Nocardiopsis halophila DSM 44494T(99.0 and 98.8 % similarities, respectively) being their closely related strains. Whereas the 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between LSu2-4T and RSe5-2T was 99.4 %. Phylogenetic and phylogenomic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene and whole-genome sequences revealed that both strains clustered with N. chromatogenes YIM 90109T and N. halophila DSM 44494T. The average nucleotide identity (ANI) based on blast, ANI based on MUMmer and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) relatedness values between the two strains and their closest type strains were below the threshold values for identifying a novel species. Morphological characteristics and chemotaxonomic features of both strains were typical for the genus Nocardiopsis by formed well-developed substrate mycelia and aerial mycelia which fragmented into rod-shaped spores. Whole-cell hydrolysates contained meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid. The predominant menaquinones were variously hydrogenated with 10 isoprene units and contained phosphatidylcholine in their polar lipid profiles. Major fatty acids were iso-C16:0 and 10-methyl C18:0. In silico analysis predicted that the genomes of LSu2-4T and RSe5-2T contained genes associated with stress responses and biosynthetic gene clusters encoding diverse bioactive metabolites. Characterization based on chemotaxonomic, phenotypic, genotypic and phylogenetic evidence demonstrated that strains LSu2-4T and RSe5-2T represents two novel species of the genus Nocardiopsis, for which the names Nocardiopsis suaedae sp. nov. (type strain LSu2-4T=TBRC 16415T=NBRC 115855T) and Nocardiopsis endophytica sp. nov. (type strain RSe5-2T=TBRC 16416T=NBRC 115856T) are proposed.

Abstract
Background Bioactive compounds (BCs) from natural resources have been extensively studied because of their use as models in the development of novel and important medical and biopreservative agents. One important source of BCs is microorganisms, particularly terrestrial bacteria of the order Actinomycetales. Methods We characterized Streptomyces sp. KB1 by observing its morphology, physiology, and growth on different media using biochemical tests, optimizing cultural conditions by changing one independent variable at a time. Results Streptomyces sp. KB1 (TISTR 2304) is a gram-positive and long filamentous bacteria that forms straight to flexuous (rectiflexibile) chains of globose-shaped and smooth-surfaced spores. It can grow under aerobic condition s only at a temperature range of 25-37 °C and initial pH range of 5-10 in the presence of sodium chloride 4% (w/v). Therefore, it is considered an obligate aerobe, mesophilic, neutralophilic, and moderately halophilic bacteria. The isolate grew well on peptone-yeast extract iron, Luria Bertani (LB), and a half-formula of LB (LB/2), but could not grow on MacConkey agar. It utilized fructose, mannose, glucose, and lactose as its carbon source along with acid production and showed positive reactions to casein hydrolysis, gelatin liquefaction, nitrate reduction, urease, and catalase production. Streptomyces sp. KB1 (TISTR 2304) could produce the maximum number of BCs when 1% of its starter was cultivated in a 1,000 ml baffled flask containing 200 ml of LB/2 broth with its initial pH adjusted to 7 with no supplemental carbon source, nitrogen source, NaCl, or trace element at 30 °C, shaken at 200 rpm in an incubator for 4 days.

Abstract
The taxonomic position of a novel actinomycete, designated strain RS10V-4T, was determined using a polyphasic approach. Strain RS10V-4T was isolated from paddy rhizosphere soil of rice plant (Oryzae sativa L.). The morphological, physiological and chemotaxonomic properties were consistent with its classification in the genus Streptomyces. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain RS10V-4T belongs to the genus Streptomyces and had the highest sequence similarity to Streptomyces noursei NBRC 15452T (98.3 %). The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 73.8 %. Digital DNA-DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity values between the genome sequences of strain RS10V-4T and S.noursei ATCC 11455T were lower than the recommendation threshold values for the recognition of species within the same genus. The whole-cell hydrolysates of strain RS10V-4 T contained ll -diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid and the whole-cell sugars were glucose and ribose. The predominant menaquinones were MK-9(H6) and MK-9(H8). The predominant cellular fatty acids (>10 %) were iso-C16 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C14 : 0 and iso-C15 : 0. The polar lipids of strain RS10V-4T contained diphosphatidylglycerol, hydroxyphosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, an unidentified aminolipid, two unidentified lipids and an unidentified phospholipid. On the basis of these phenotypic and genotypic characteristics, it is supported that strain RS10V-4T represents a novel species of the genus Streptomyces, for which the name Streptomyces rhizoryzae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is RS10V-4T (=TBRC 15167T=NBRC 115345T). In addition, the comparison of the whole genome sequences and phenotypic features suggested that S. noursei and S. albulus belong to the same species. Therefore, it is proposed that S. albulus is reclassified as a later heterotypic synonym of S. noursei.

Abstract
A polyphasic approach was used to describe strain RB6PN25T, an actinobacterium isolated from peat swamp forest soil in Rayong Province, Thailand. The strain was a Gram-stain-positive and filamentous bacterium that contained ll-diaminopimelic acid, mannose and ribose in whole-cell hydrolysates. MK-9(H8) was the major menaquinone. The major fatty acids were iso-C16 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0 and iso-C15 : 0. The polar lipid profile consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, two unidentified glycophospholipids, two unidentified aminolipids and an unidentified phospholipid. The 16S rRNA gene sequences analysis indicated that it was most closely related to Streptomyces rubrisoli DSM 42083T (97.6 %) and Streptomyces palmae TBRC 1999T (97.4 %). Strain RB6PN25T exhibited low average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values with S. rubrisoli DSM 42083T (78.6 %, 23.2 %) and S. palmae TBRC 1999T (76.0 %, 22.6 %). The DNA G+C content of strain RB6PN25T was 69.9%. The results of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, genotypic and phylogenetic analyses reveal that strain RB6PN25T represents a novel species of the genus Streptomyces, for which the name Streptomyces humicola sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is RB6PN25T (=TBRC 14819T=NBRC 115204T).

Abstract
A polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB)-degrading actinomycete, strain SFB5AT, was identified as a species of
Streptomyces
based on its membrane fatty acid profile and the presence of ll-diaminopimelic acid in the cell wall. It formed sporulating mycelia on most agar media, but flat or wrinkled, moist colonies on trypticase soy agar. Spores were smooth, cylindrical, and borne on long, straight to flexuous chains. It produced a light brown diffusible pigment, but not melanin. Comparison of genomic digital DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH) and average nucleotide identity (ANI) values indicated that strain SFB5AT was related to
Streptomyces litmocidini
JCM 4394T,
Streptomyces vietnamensis
GIMV4.0001T,
Streptomyces nashvillensis
JCM 4498T and
Streptomyces tanashiensis
JCM 4086T, plus 11 other species. However, the dDDH and ANI values were well below the species differentiation thresholds of <70 and <95 %, respectively; also, multilocus sequence analysis distances exceeded the species threshold of 0.007. Moreover, strain SFB5AT differed from the other species in pigmentation and its ability to catabolize arabinose. Strain SFB5AT and 11 of its 15 closest relatives degraded PHB and have genes for extracellular, short-chain-length denatured polyhydroxyalkanoate depolymerases. These enzymes from strain SFB5AT and its closest relatives had a type 1 catalytic domain structure, while those from other relatives had a type 2 structure, which differs from type one in the position of a consensus histidine in the active site. Thus, phenotypic and genotypic differences suggest that strain SFB5AT represents a new species of Streptomyces, for which we propose the name Streptomyces nymphaeiformis sp. nov. The type strain is SFB5AT (=NRRL B-65520T=DSM 112030T).

Abstract
An endophytic actinomycete, designated strain RL4-1ST, was isolated from surface-sterilized leaves of rice plant (Oryza sativa L.) collected from Buri Rum province, Thailand. Its taxonomic status was determined using a polyphasic approach. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the strain RL4-1ST belongs to the genus Microbispora and is most closely related to Microbispora rosea subsp. rosea ATCC 12950T (98.5%). The strain forms pairs of spores on short sporophores borne on the aerial mycelium. Polar lipid profile of strain RL4-1ST is diphosphatidylglycerol, hydroxy-phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol mannosides, ninhydrin-positive glycophospholipid, two unidentified phospholipids, an unidentified aminolipid, and an unidentified glycolipid. MK-9(H4), MK-9(H2), and MK-9 are major menaquinones of this organism. The predominant cellular fatty acids are iso-C16:0, C17:0 and C16:0. Strain RL4-1ST contains meso-diaminopimelic acid, glucose, madurose and ribose in whole-cell hydrolysates. The draft genome of strain RL4-1ST consists of 7.46 Mbp and has a G + C content 71.2 mol%. Digital DNA-DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity values between the genome sequence of strain RL4-1ST with Microbispora rosea subsp. rosea ATCC 12950T are 26.0% and 80.7%, respectively. Based on data of genotypic, phenotypic, phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic analysis, strain RL4-1ST represents a novel species of the genus Microbispora, for which the name Microbispora oryzae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is RL4-1ST (= TBRC 14817T = NBRC 115115T).

Abstract
A novel actinobacterium, designated strain DW4-2T, was isolated from duckweed (Spirodela sp.) collected from an agricultural pond in Kasetsart University, Bangkok, Thailand. The morphological, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic characteristics were consistent with its classification in the genus Streptomyces. Strain DW4-2T showed the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values to Streptomyces qinglanensis DSM 42035T (98.5 %), Streptomyces smyrnaeus DSM 42105T (98.4 %) and Streptomyces oryzae S16-07T (98.4 %). Digital DNA-DNA hydridization and average nucleotide identity values between the genome sequences of strain DW4-2T with S. qinglanensis DSM 42035T (29.8 and 87.8 %), S. smyrnaeus DSM 42105T (33.1 and 89.0 %) and S. oryzae S16-07T (33.0 and 88.9 %) were below the thresholds of 70 and 95-96 % for prokaryotic conspecific assignation. Chemotaxonomic data revealed that strain DW4-2T possessed MK-9(H6) and MK-9(H8) as the predominant menaquinones. It contained ll -diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid and glucose, ribose and trace amount of madurose in whole-cell sugars. The polar lipids consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol mannoside, an unidentified aminolipid, an unidentified lipid and an unidentified phospholipid. The predominant cellular fatty acids were anteiso-C17 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0. The genomic DNA size of the strain DW4-2T was 7 310 765 bp with DNA G+C content 71.0 mol%. Genomic analysis of the genome indicated that the strain DW4-2T had the potential to produce bioactive compounds. On the basis of these genotypic and phenotypic data, it is supported that strain DW4-2T represents a novel species of the genus Streptomyces, for which the name Streptomyces spirodelae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is strain DW4-2T (=TBRC 13095T=NBRC 114803T).

The morphological, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic characteristics were consistent with its classification in the genus Streptomyces. Strain KK5PA1T was most closely related to Streptomyces bryophytorum NEAU-HZ10T (98.0 %) and Streptomyces guanduensis 701T (97.6 %). The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 72.3 mol%. Digital DNA-DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity values between the genome sequence of strain KK5PA1T and those of S. bryophytorum DSM 42138T(25.1 and 79.1 %) and S. guanduensis DSM 41944T(25.1 and 79.7%) were below the thresholds of 70 and 96 % for prokaryotic conspecific assignation. Chemotaxonomic data revealed that strain KK5PA1T possessed MK-9(H6) and MK-9(H8) as the predominant menaquinones. It contained ll-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid and galactose, glucose, mannose and ribose as whole-cell sugars. The polar lipids consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol mannoside, two unidentified aminolipids, five unidentified phospholipids and an unidentified lipid. The predominant cellular fatty acids were iso-C16 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0 and C16 : 0. On the basis of these genotypic and phenotypic data, it is proposed that strain KK5PA1T represents a novel species of the genus Streptomyces, for which the name Streptomyces acididurans sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is strain KK5PA1T (=TBRC 13094T=NBRC 114802T).

Abstract
A polyphasic approach was used to describe strain K13G38T, a novel actinomycete isolated from peat swamp forest soil collected from Surat Thani Province, Thailand. The 16S rRNA gene phylogenetic analysis indicated that the strain belonged to the genus Amycolatopsis and showed the highest sequence similarities to both Amycolatopsis acidiphila JCM 30562T and Amycolatopsis bartoniae DSM 45807T (96.8% sequence similarity). Furthermore, strain K13G38T, which formed extensively branched substrate and aerial mycelia, exhibited chemotaxonomical characteristics of the genus Amycolatopsis which included phospholipid pattern type II and cell-wall chemotype IV. The polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, hydroxy-phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylglycerol, two unidentified phospholipids, and an unidentified aminolipid. MK-9(H4) was a predominant menaquinone of the organism. The major cellular fatty acids were iso-C16:0, anteiso-C17:0, and C16:0. The genomic DNA size of strain K13G38T was 8.5 Mbp with 69.5 mol% G+C content. On the basis of phenotypic characteristics, overall genomic relatedness index and phylogenetic distinctiveness, strain K13G38T represents a novel species of the genus Amycolatopsis, for which the name A. acididurans sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is K13G38T (=TBRC 12507T = NBRC 114553T).

Abstract
A novel endophytic actinomycete strain GKU 173T isolated from the roots of Acacia mangium Willd. showed potential plant growth promoting (PGP) activity. Phylogenetic analysis, based on 16S rRNA gene, indicated that strain GKU 173T was the most closely related to Fodinicola feengrottensis HKI 0501T—the only species in the genus Fodinicola. Morphology and chemotaxonomy of strain GKU 173T indicated that it belongs to the genus Fodinicola by having meso-diaminopimelic acid in the cell wall and xylose as the characteristic cell-wall sugars. The cellular fatty acid profile mainly comprised iso-C16:0, anteiso-C17:0, iso-C18:0, and iso-C17:0. The major menaquinones were MK-9(H4), MK-9(H6), and MK-9(H8). The main polar phospholipids contained diphosphatidylglycerol (DPG), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), and phosphatidylinositol (PI). Genome analysis signified DNA G+C content of 67.81 mol%. The level of digital DNA-DNA relatedness between strain GKU 173T and the type strain was 21.30%. On the basis of polyphasic characteristics, strain GKU 173T clearly represents a novel species of the genus Fodinicola, for which the name Fodinicolaacaciae sp. nov. (= TBRC 10620T = NBRC 114213T) is proposed. Furthermore, genome analysis of both strains suggested that members of the genus Fodinicola are promising sources of beneficial PGP-actinomycetes and novel secondary metabolites.

Abstract
A novel actinobacterium, designated strain K1PN6T, was isolated from soil sample collected in Kantulee peat swamp forest, Surat Thani province, Thailand. The morphological, chemotaxonomic, and phylogenetic characteristics were consistent with its classification in the genus Streptomyces. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain K1PN6T showed highest similarity to Streptomyces phyllanthi PA1-07T (98.6 %), Streptomyces spongiae Sp080513SC-24T (98.3%) and Streptomyces adustus WH-9T (98.3%). The G + C content of the genomic DNA was 70.3 mol%. Digital DNA-DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity values between the genome sequence of strain K1PN6T with S. phyllanthi TISTR 2346T (33.7 and 89.1%), S. spongiae NBRC 106415T (38.6 and 90.6%) and S. adustus NBRC 109810T (26.0 and 86.2%) were below the thresholds of 70 and 95-96% for prokaryotic conspecific assignation. Chemotaxonomic data revealed that strain K1PN6T possessed MK-9(H8) (45%) and MK-9(H6) (34%) as the predominant menaquinones. It contained LL-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid and galactose, glucose, mannose, and ribose as whole-cell sugars. The polar lipids consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol mannoside, two unidentified aminolipids, an unidentified phospholipid, and glycophospholipid. The predominant cellular fatty acids (>10%) were iso-C16:0, C16:0, anteiso-C15:0, and iso-C14:0. On the basis of these genotypic and phenotypic data, strain K1PN6T should be designated as a representative of a novel species of the genus Streptomyces, for which the name Streptomyces acidicola sp. nov. is proposed with the type strain K1PN6T (=TBRC 11341T=NBRC 114304T).

Abstract
A novel actinomycete, designated strain GLM-1T, was isolated from arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal spores from Funneliformis mosseae RYA08, collected from Aquilaria crassna Pierre ex Lec. rhizosphere soil in Klaeng, Rayong Province, Thailand. Morphological characteristics of this strain included long chains of rod-like cells and squarish elements. The cell-wall composition of this novel isolate contained meso-diaminopimelic acid. The whole-cell diagnostic sugars were arabinose and galactose. The predominant menaquinone was MK-9(H4). The major fatty acids were iso-C16 : 0 and iso-C15 : 0. Only phosphatidylethanolamine was detected as a polar lipid. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain GLM-1T was closely related to Amycolatopsis rhabdoformis SB026T (99.11 %) with a low DNA-DNA hybridization value of 22.6-34.7 %. Genome sequencing revealed a genome size of 10 Mbp. There were obvious distinctions in the average nucleotide identity values between stain GLM-1T and its closely related strains at around 86-93 % (ANIb) and 89-94 % (ANIm). The digital DNA-DNA hybridization values between strain GLM-1T and type strains of phylogenetically related species were 34-55 %. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 71.8 mol%. Based on these data, strain GLM-1T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Amycolatopsis, for which the name Amycolatopsiseburnea sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is GLM-1T (=TBRC 9315T=NBRC 113658T).

Abstract
In this study, we report the production, bioassay guided isolation and identification of antibiofouling metabolite from mangrove derived actinobacterium, Streptomyces sampsonii (PM33). The actinobacterial strain PM33 yields maximum amount of antifouling compounds through agar surface fermentation. In optimization, carbohydrates such as glucose, fructose and xylose, are suitable for maximum production of the active compound. In addition, other compounds such as malt extract, glutamine, and sodium chloride concentrations (2.5, 5 and 7.5%) and parameters such as pH 7.0 and temperature range 30 °C to 40 °C enhanced the production of antifouling metabolite. The antifouling metabolite was extracted in ethyl acetate. TLC and bioautography was used to separate and detect the antifouling metabolite present in the crude extract. The physico chemical features revealed that the antifouling metabolite PM33 – B as taxifolin (C15H12O7). The purified taxifolin was found to be active against biofouling bacteria, algal spore germination and mollusc foot adherence, respectively. Toxicity nature of taxifolin was also determined by adopting zebrafish embryos. The taxifolin isolated from mangrove-derived Streptomyces sampsonii PM33 is a promising candidate for the development of eco-friendly antifouling preparation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Rare actinomycetes are a promising source of novel metabolites of pharmaceutical importance. The current study focussed on selective isolation of specific genera of rare actinomycetes and screening the isolates for biosynthetic genes particularly polyketide synthases (PKS) and non ribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPS). MATERIALS AND METHODS The soil samples were subjected to various pre-treatments like 1.5% phenol treatment, 0.3% chloramine T treatment, benzethonium chloride treatment, etc. and plated on selective media supplemented with specific antibiotics targeting rare genera of actinomycetes. The putative rare actinomycete isolates were screened for bioactivity using agar cross streak method and agar well diffusion method. The ability of the isolates to produce anti-quorum sensing compounds was tested against Serratia marcescens. The isolates were also screened for the presence of biosynthetic gene clusters associated with PKS-I, PKS-II and NRPS pathways using the degenerate primer sets K1F-M6R, KSα/KSβ and A3FA7R, respectively. The expression of these gene clusters was tracked by physicochemical screening of the extracts of isolates using spectroscopic and chromatographic techniques. RESULTS In this study, 1.5% phenol treatment was found to be the most promising followed by heat treatment and chloramine treatment. Our studies showed that ISP5 agar was the best for isolation of rare genera followed by ISP7, Starch Caesin agar and ISP2 supplemented with antibiotics like gentamicin, nalidixic acid and streptomycin. Micromonospora was the most abundant genus followed by Dactylosporangium. Actinomadura, Nocardiopsis and Actinoplanes were almost equal in number. Primary screening showed that 92% of the isolates were active against one of the test organisms. Thirty seven isolates were found to produce anti-quorum sensing (QS) compounds. NRPS sequences were detected in thirty nine isolates (42.8%), whereas PKS-I and PKS-II sequences were detected in seventeen and twenty eight strains (18.6% and 30.7%), respectively. CONCLUSION Nine type I and type II polyketide-producing isolates as well as six peptide-producing isolates were found. The peptide extract of isolate KCR3 and a polyketide extract of isolate NCD10 were found to possess anti-tumor activity exhibiting an IC50 value of 3 μg/ml and 2.5 μg/ml against HeLa cells.

Abstract
An attempt has been made to isolate, purify and characterize antifouling compound from Streptomyces fradiae PE7 isolated from Vellar estuarine sediment, Parangipettai, South India. The microbial identification was done at species level based on its phenotypic, cell wall and molecular characteristics. Strain PE7 produced high quantity of antifouling compounds in agar surface fermentation when compared to submerged fermentation. In fermentation optimization, wide range of sugars, amino acids, minerals, pH, temperature and NaCl concentration was found to influence the antifouling compound production from the strain PE7. Antifouling compound PE7-C was purified from the crude extract by preparative TLC, and its activity against biofouling bacteria was confirmed by bioautography. Based on the physico-chemical characteristics, the chemical structure of the antifouling compound PE7-C was identified as quercetin (C15H10O7), a flavonoid class of compound with the molecular weight 302.23 g/mol. The purified quercetin was active against 18 biofouling bacteria with MIC range between 1.6 and 25 μg/ml, algal spore germination and mollusc foot adherence found at 100 μg/ml and 306 ± 19.6 μg ml(-1) respectively. The present study, for the first time, reported quercetin from marine-derived Streptomyces sp. PE7 with antifouling activity. This also leads to the repurposing of quercetin for the development of antifouling agent.

Abstract
An actinomycete strain S16-07(T), isolated from surface-sterilized stems of rice plant (Oryza sativa L.), was characterized using a polyphasic approach. Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated affiliation of the strain belonged to the genus Streptomyces. The highest levels of sequence similarity were found with Streptomyces smyrnaeus SM3501(T) (97.7% similarity), S. abikoensis NBRC 13860(T) (97.6% similarity) and S. thermocarboxydovorans NBRC 16324(T) (97.5% similarity). The cell wall of strain S16-07(T) contained LL-diaminopimelic acid. The predominant menaquinones were MK-9(H₆) and MK-9(H₈). Phospholipids detected were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, hydroxy-phosphatidylethanolamine, hydroxy-phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine and phosphatidylinositol mannosides. The major cellular fatty acids were ai-C(15:0), i-C(16:0) and ai-C(17:0). The G+C content of strain S16-07(T) was 70.4 mol%. On the basis of the phylogeny of the isolate and its differences from the most closely related species, the isolate S16-07(T) represents a novel species for which the name S. oryzae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is S16-07(T) (=BCC 60400(T)=NBRC 109761(T)).

The vertical stratification of actinomycetes diversity in Sambhar salt lake (India's largest salt lake) was investigated by using cultivable and uncultivable approaches. The isolates from cultured approaches were clustered on the basis of cultural, morphological, biochemical, and cell wall characteristics, and results were further strengthened by 16S rDNA-RFLP into five major groups. 16S rDNA sequencing of the representative isolates from each clusters was identified as belonging to Streptomyces, Actinopolyspora, Microbispora, Saccharopolyspora, and Actinoplanes genera, while culture independent group was established as Streptomyces (130 clones, 20 OTUs), Micromonospora (96 clones, 7 OTUs), Streptosporangium (79 clones, 9 OTUs), Thermomonospora (46 clones, 8 OTUs), and Dactylosporangium (58 clones, 8 OTUs). The diversity assessment using Shannon and Wiener index was found to be 1.55, 1.52, 1.55, and 1.49 from surface lake water, at depth of 1.5 m, shallow layer of water with algal population, and finally at depth of 2.5 m, respectively. We observed diversity in terms of the species richness as Streptomyces is dominant genus in both culture dependent and culture independent techniques followed by Microbispora (culture dependent methods) and Micromonospora (culture independent method) genera, respectively.

Abstract
During a screening program for bioactive natural products, a potential Streptomyces sp was isolated from soil. On the basis of biochemical, cultural, physiological and 16S rRNA gene analysis, it was identified as Streptomyces purpurascens. The isolate was grown in liquid medium and the crude antibiotic complex was obtained by ethyl acetate extraction. Seven purified fractions were obtained by preparative Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC). Acid hydrolysis of each fraction and subsequent TLC led to the identification of aglycones and sugars indicating these compounds to be Rhodomycin and its analogues. The identity of these compounds was established on the basis of UV-visible and FT-IR spectra and comparison with published data. The compounds were active against Gram-positive bacteria. Compound E, identified as Rhodomycin B, was found to be the most potent compound with an MIC of 2 μg/ml against Bacillus subtilis. Compounds A and F identified as α2-Rhodomycin II and Obelmycin respectively, and Compound E exhibited an IC50 of 8.8 μg/ml against HeLa cell line but no cytotoxicity was found against L929.

Abstract
It has been shown previously that aerobic actinomycetes can be separated into four main groups on the basis of their cell wall composition. Six representatives of aerobic actinomycetes (Nocardia asteroides and Micropolyspora brevicatena, cell wall type IV; N. madurae, Microbispora rosea, cell wall type III; Actinoplanes sp., cell wall type II; Streptomyces griseus, cell wall type I) were subjected to selecting agents which permitted the isolation of stable variants morphologically different from the parent strain. Whole cell analyses of 134 substrains from the six parents revealed no significant change in the isomeric form of diaminopimelic acid or in sugar constituents. Analyses of cell wall preparations from 52 of these did not reveal any change in the diagnostic constituents of their murein or polysaccharides.

Abstract
The occurrence of filamentous, branching, catalase-negative bacteria as a numerically predominant microflora of various soils was demonstrated by using a dilution frequency isolation procedure. The major characteristics of these organisms were those of the order Actinomycetales. However, they could not be placed in any of the present genera of this order and, therefore, a new genus, Agromyces, was proposed for these organisms. This genus includes catalase-negative, nutritionally-fastidious microorganisms whose cells produce a true branching mycelium that fragments into coccoid and diphtheroid forms. Also, they have an oxidative metabolism, are microaerophilic to aerobic, and contain neither diaminopimelic acid nor lysine as major constituents of the cell wall glycopeptide. The type species would be Agromyces ramosus, gen. n., sp. n. The possible importance of these organisms in clarifying certain phylogenetic relationships of the Actinomycetales is discussed.

Abstract
Elevated atmospheric CO(2) can cause increased carbon fixation and altered foliar chemical composition in a variety of plants, which has the potential to impact forested headwater streams because they are detritus-based ecosystems that rely on leaf litter as their primary source of organic carbon. Fungi and bacteria play key roles in the entry of terrestrial carbon into aquatic food webs, as they decompose leaf litter and serve as a source of nutrition for invertebrate consumers. This study tested the hypothesis that changes in leaf chemistry caused by elevated atmospheric CO(2) would result in changes in the size and composition of microbial communities colonizing leaves in a woodland stream. Three tree species, Populus tremuloides, Salix alba, and Acer saccharum, were grown under ambient (360 ppm) or elevated (720 ppm) CO(2), and their leaves were incubated in a woodland stream. Elevated-CO(2) treatment resulted in significant increases in the phenolic and tannin contents and C/N ratios of leaves. Microbial effects, which occurred only for P. tremuloides leaves, included decreased fungal biomass and decreased bacterial counts. Analysis of fungal and bacterial communities on P. tremuloides leaves via terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) and clone library sequencing revealed that fungal community composition was mostly unchanged by the elevated-CO(2) treatment, whereas bacterial communities showed a significant shift in composition and a significant increase in diversity. Specific changes in bacterial communities included increased numbers of alphaproteobacterial and cytophaga-flavobacter-bacteroides (CFB) group sequences and decreased numbers of betaproteobacterial and firmicutes sequences, as well as a pronounced decrease in overall gram-positive bacterial sequences.

Abstract
The actinomycete strain Ao108 producing antifungal metabolites active against some plant pathogenic fungi was identified as Actinomadura roseola, based on the analyses of morphological and physiological characteristics. The antibiotic Da2B that showed a strong antifungal activity was isolated from the culture broth and mycelial mats of A. roseola strain Ao108 using various chromatographic procedures. On the basis of (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, and 2-D NMR correlation data, the antibiotic Da2B was confirmed to have the structure of an anthracycline antibiotic, daunomycin. In vitro antimicrobial spectrum tests showed that the antibiotic Da2B had substantial inhibitory activity (10 microg mL(-)(1) of MICs) against mycelial growth of Phytophthora capsici and Rhizoctonia solani. The antibiotic also showed antiyeast activity against Saccharomyces cerevisiae, but the growth of Candida albicans was not affected. Antibacterial activity was found only against Gram-positive bacteria. In the further evaluation of in vivo efficacy, application of the antibiotic Da2B effectively inhibited the development of Phytophthora blight in pepper plants. However, the control efficacy of the antibiotic against Phytophthora infection was somewhat less than that of metalaxyl. The antibiotic Da2B did not show any phytotoxicity on pepper plants even at 500 microg mL(-)(1).

Abstract
A high-volume screen for anthelmintic microbial metabolites with an avermectinlike mode of action was developed. The primary screen used the free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans in a whole-organism assay. The specificity for avermectinlike compounds resides in the secondary screen, which takes advantage of the chloride channel-opening properties of the avermectins. By using standard microelectrode techniques, membrane conductance changes following exposure to extracts of microbial cultures were measured in the walking leg stretcher muscle fibers of the lined shore crab Pachygrapsus crassipes. The avermectins and related milbemycins give a characteristic response of rapid loss of membrane resistance coupled with a slight hyperpolarization of the membrane. This is partially (near 50%) reversible with the chloride channel blocker picrotoxinin. Four morphologically similar cultures that produced avermectinlike activities were identified by this screen. Isolation of the active components from one of these cultures (strain UC 8984) followed by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy resulted in the identification of milbemycins alpha 1 and alpha 3. These metabolites are members of a large family of milbemycins produced by Streptomyces hygroscopicus subsp. aureolacrimosus NRRL 5739. Systematic studies revealed that strain UC 8984 is also a S. hygroscopicus strain, but which is taxonomically distinct from NRRL 5739.

Abstract
A novel actinomycete was the predominant filamentous microorganism in bulking activated sludge in a bench-scale reactor treating coke plant wastewater. The bacterium was isolated and identified as an actinomycete that is biochemically and morphologically similar to
Amycolatopsis orientalis
; however, a lack of DNA homology excludes true relatedness. At present, the isolate (NRRL B 16216) cannot be assigned to the recognized taxa of actinomycetes.

Abstract
Cell walls of 19 Micromonospora species were analyzed for their components. All the cell walls had xylose and arabinose, but the presence of glucose, galactose, mannose, or rhamnose depended on the strain. Amino acids present in the walls consisted of glycine, glutamic acid, diaminopimelic acid, and alanine, in a molar ratio of approximately 1:1:1:0.6--0.8. 3-Hydroxydiaminopimelic acid, together with meso-diaminopimelic acid, was found in many species and was isolated from Micromonospora olivoasterospora to compare the color constant in an amino acid analyzer with that of meso-diaminopimelic acid. The cell walls of Micromonospora sagamiensis and M. olivoasterospora contained only D-alanine and not L-alanine. All species tested except Micromonospora globosa contained glycolate in an almost equimolar ratio to diaminopimelic acid in their cell walls. Among 45 strains of 12 genera examined, Actinoplanes, Ampullariella, Amorphosporangium, and Dactylosporangium species had a significant amount of glycolate in the whole cells. Based on these results, the primary structure of the peptidoglycan of Micromonospora is discussed.

Abstract
A rapid method for the identification of lipids characteristic of the genera Corynebacterium, Mycobacterium, Nocardia, and the "rhodochrous group" has been developed. Modifications of previously described methods make this procedure suitable for use in the clinical laboratory. Thin-layer chromatography is used to demonstrate the presence of the lipid characteristic of Nocardia spp. (type A) in some corynebacteria, nocardias, and members of the "rhodochrous group." Precipitation in ether and ethanol is used to demonstrate the presence of mycobacterial mycolic acids. Since this procedure can be carried out in less than 2 days and the lipids are extracted from the same batch of cells grown for diaminopimelic acid and whole-cell sugar analyses, it can readily be added to the battery of tests performed in reference laboratories that deal with aerobic actinomycetes and related bacteria.

Abstract
During investigations into farmer's lung disease it was noticed that Micropolyspora faeni (MF) was isolated and identified with ease, but difficulty was encountered in the identification of Thermoactinomyces vulgaris (TV), although an organism resembling TV was frequently isolated. Extracts prepared from the isolates resembling TV (called Thermoactinomyces vulgaris variant, TVV) when tested against the standard TV antiserum by double diffusion, did not produce any precipitin lines. When TVV extracts were tested against the serum of a patient from whom TVV had been isolated from the sputum, +++ precipitin lines were observed. With the TVV extracts the authors have demonstrated the existence of a serologically distinct strain of TV, and also that it would be a useful addition to the routine testing of antibodies to farmer's lung disease.

Abstract
A serological analysis of mycelial antigens of Thermoactinomyces vulgaris in immunodiffusion with human sera revealed five individual antigens. Three antigens were proteins, sensitive to pronase and soluble in phenol. Two were cationic polysaccharides, sensitive to sodium periodate, and containing glucosamine and muramic acid. Latex coated with mycelial antigens was compared with precipitin tests in detecting antibodies to T. vulgaris; the number of positive results detected by each test differed slightly, and a combination of the two tests detected the highest number. Counterimmunoelectrophoresis (CIE) was shown to be a very sensitive method for detecting precipitins, but not for their measurement. A prospective evaluation of immunodiffusion, latex agglutination and CIE as potential serodiagnostic techniques for farmer's lung disease is suggested.

Abstract
A mutant of Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6051 deficient in phosphatidylethanolamine, an important membrane lipid, was isolated by a combination of nitrosoguanidine mutagenesis and penicillin concentration of auxotrophs employing phosphatidylethanolamine as a supplement. The mutant was compared to the parent strain with regard to lipid composition, growth, osmotic fragility, and staining character and differed substantially in each category. In addition to scant amounts of phosphatidylethanolamine, the mutant contained phosphatidylglycerol, cardiolipin, lysyl phosphatidylglycerol, and diglucosyldiglyceride, though in amounts differing from those found in the parent strain. The mutant was unable to grow appreciably on synthetic media, had enhanced osmotic fragility of protoplasts, and resisted decolorization in staining.
