Article Synopsis
- A new actinobacterial strain, named MBRL 353(T), was discovered in a limestone quarry in Manipur, India, and is being recognized as a novel species in the Rhodococcus genus called Rhodococcus canchipurensis sp. nov.
- Genetic analysis showed MBRL 353(T) shares a high degree of similarity in its 16S rRNA gene with other Rhodococcus species, but DNA-DNA hybridization indicated it is distinct, with relatedness values below the species identification threshold.
- MBRL 353(T) features unique traits like meso-diaminopimelic acid in its cell wall and specific fatty acid profiles, confirming its novelty and supporting its classification as
