sp. nov., isolated from the faeces of .

A novel Gram-stain-positive, non-spore-forming, irregular rod-shaped, non-motile and facultatively anaerobic actinobacterium, designated strain YIM 101269, was isolated from the faeces of living in Yunnan Wild Animal Park, Yunnan province, south-west China. The isolate grew at 10-35 °C, at pH 6-12 and with 0-9 % (w/v) NaCl. The cell-wall peptidoglycan of the organism contained ll-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid. The polar lipids detected were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, three unidentified polar lipids, one unidentified aminophospholipid and three unknown glycolipids. The major cellar fatty acid was anteiso-C.MK-10(H) was the predominant menaquinone. The DNA G+C content was 69.5 mol%. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain YIM 101269 belonged to the genus , closely related to DSM 18582 (97.4 % similarity). Based on the evidence from the present study, strain YIM 101269 is considered to represent a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YIM 101269 ( = DSM 27579 = CCTCC AB 2013217).
