| pubmed-article:16449448 | pubmed:abstractText | Strain LU14T, isolated from the roots of Lupinus angustifolius, was characterized using a polyphasic approach. 16S rRNA gene sequence studies showed a similarity of 98.7% to the corresponding sequence of Kribbella sandramycini DSM 15626T. Chemotaxonomic data gathered for fatty acids, phospholipids, cell-wall peptidoglycan and menaquinones strongly supported the classification of this strain in the genus Kribbella and DNA-DNA hybridization studies suggested that it may represent a novel species. Many physiological features were found that clearly distinguished isolate LU14T from other Kribbella species. Based on the above data, a novel species of the genus Kribbella, Kribbella lupini sp. nov., is proposed with the type strain LU14T (=DSM 16683T=LMG 22957T). | lld:pubmed |
