A novel actinomycete strain, designated PAL84, was isolated from a Saharan soil sample collected from Béni-Isguen, Ghardaïa (South of Algeria). This strain was studied for its taxonomic position using a polyphasic approach and was identified as a member of the genus Actinokineospora. Phylogenetic analysis showed that strain PAL84 had 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities with members of the genus Actinokineospora ranging from 96.2 % (Actinokineospora inagensis DSM 44258(T)) to 97.8 % (Actinokineospora baliensis NBRC 104211(T)). The strain was observed to produce pinkish-purple aerial mycelium and purplish red substrate mycelium, which fragmented readily into chains of non-motile elements. The optimum growth temperature and pH were found to be 25-30 °C and 5.0-7.0, respectively. The cell-wall hydrolysate of strain PAL84 was found to contain meso-diaminopimelic acid and the diagnostic whole-cell sugars were identified as arabinose and galactose. The predominant menaquinone was identified as MK-9 (H4). The major fatty acids were found to be iso-C16:0, iso-C15:0, iso-C16:1 H and iso-C16:0 2OH. The diagnostic phospholipid detected was phosphatidylethanolamine. The genotypic and phenotypic data show that the strain represents a novel species of the genus Actinokineospora, for which the name Actinokineospora mzabensis sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain PAL84(T) (=DSM 45961(T) = CECT 8578(T)).

The taxonomic positions of members within the family were assessed based on phylogenomic trees reconstructed using core-proteome and genome blast distance phylogeny approaches. The closely clustered genome sequences from the type strains of validly published names within the family were analysed using overall genome-related indices based on average nucleotide identity, average amino acid identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values. The family consists of the type genus , as well as the genera , , , , , , , , , gen.

A novel actinomycete, strain HBU206404, belonging to the genus Actinokineospora, was isolated from the lakeside soil of Baiyangdian, in China. Cells grew at 9-37 °C (optimum temperature, 28 °C) and pH 6-9 (optimum, pH 7). Meso-diaminopimelic acid was the diagnostic diamino acid of the cell-wall peptidoglycan, and sugars present in whole-cell hydrolysates were arabinose, mannose, glucose and galactose.

For decades, natural products from Actinomycetes have been recognized as one of the inestimable sources of therapeutic compounds. Presently, due to some challenges in the identification of novel compounds including the validation of novel natural products and their compatibility with the high throughput screening bioassays, evaluating new activity from known commercial ones would be an important designation. On the other hand, finding new sources of bioactive compounds from Actinomycetes can be promising in attaining pharmaceutical compounds with fewer purification steps and cost-effective production of the bioproducts.
