Kribbella solani sp. nov. and Kribbella jejuensis sp. nov., isolated from potato tuber and soil in Jeju, Korea.
Two actinomycete strains, DSA1T and HD9T, were isolated from a potato tuber and soil from a potato-cultivating field in Jeju, Korea, respectively. A comprehensive 16S rDNA analysis revealed that the isolates belong to the genus Kribbella and share 97.7-98.6% sequence similarity to Kribbella species. The strains also contained typical chemotaxonomic markers of the genus Kribbella: ll-diaminopimelic acid, alanine, glycine and glutamic acid in the cell wall peptidoglycan; mannose, glucose, galactose and ribose as whole cell sugars; diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylinositol as characteristic phospholipids; and the major menaquinone MK-9 (H4). DNA-DNA hybridization experiments showed that the isolates represented two distinct genomic species. A number of phenotypic properties can be used to differentiate the two isolates from Kribbella species. On the basis of polyphasic evidence, two novel species are proposed: Kribbella solani sp. nov. for strain DSA1T (=KACC 20196T=JCM 12205T) and Kribbella jejuensis sp. nov. for strain HD9T (=KACC 20266T=JCM 12204T).
