title: Micromonospora ovatisporasp. nov. isolated from mangrove soil.
abstract: An oval spore-forming actinomycete, designated 2701SIM06T, was isolated from mangrove soil in Sanya, Hainan province, China. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain 2701SIM06Tshowed highest similarity toMicromonospora pattaloongensisTJ2-2T(98.6 %),Micromonospora polyrhachisNEAU-ycm2T(98.6 %) andMicromonospora sonneratiae274745T(98.5 %). Phylogenetic analysis based on both the 16S rRNA gene and thegyrBgene supported this relationship. The chemotaxonomic results confirmed the isolate as a member of the genusMicromonospora, but morphological, physiological and biochemical properties differentiated it from its closest relatives. Based on these observations, strain 2701SIM06Trepresents a novel species, for which the nameMicromonospora ovatisporasp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 2701SIM06T( = CCTCC AA 2012009T= DSM 45759T).
