title: Nocardioides albidus sp. nov., an actinobacterium isolated from garden soil.
abstract: A novel bacterial strain, designated THG-S11.7T, was isolated from garden soil in Incheon, South Korea. Cells of the strain were Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, non-motile cocci, and were catalase- and oxidase-positive. Colonies of the strain were white. Strain THG-S11.7T grew optimally at 28 °C, at pH 7.0 and in the presence of 2.0 % NaCl. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that the strain was a member of the genus Nocardioides. Strain THG-S11.7T showed a 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 98.2 % to Nocardioides kongjuensis KCTC 19054T, 98.0 % to Nocardioides caeni KCTC 19600T, 97.9 % to Nocardioides daeguensis KCTC 19799T, 97.8 % to Nocardioides nitrophenolicus KCTC 047BPT, 97.6 % to Nocardioides aromaticivorans KACC 20613T, 97.5 % to Nocardioides simplex KACC 20620T and 97.0 % to Nocardioides ginsengisoli KCTC 19135T. DNA-DNA relatedness values between strain THG-S11.7T and the closest phylogenetic neighbours were below 45.0 % and the DNA G+C content of strain THG-S11.7T was 72.2 mol%. Strain THG-S11.7T was characterized chemotaxonomically as having ll-diaminopimelic acid in the cell-wall peptidoglycan and menaquinone MK-8(H4) as the predominant isoprenoid quinone. The major phospholipid was determined to be diphosphatidylglycerol. The major cellular fatty acids of strain THG-S11.7T were iso-C15 : 0, C16 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0. Based on the phenotypic, genotypic and phylogenetic analyses, it is proposed that the isolate represents a novel species of the genus Nocardioides, for which the name Nocardioides albidus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is THG-S11.7T ( = KCTC 39607T = CCTCC AB 2015297T).
