ABSTRACT

Data from chemotaxonomic and 16S ribosomal DNA sequence analyses of an isolate obtained from the sputum of a kidney transplant patient identified the isolate as a member of the genus Nocardiopsis. DNA-DNA hybridization data, as well as physiological characteristics, indicated that the isolate represents a new species of the genus Nocardiopsis, designated Nocardiopsis synnemataformans; the type strain is strain IMMIB D-1215 (= DSM 44143). In addition, DNA-DNA hybridization data, as well as the results of biochemical tests, indicated that Nocardiopsis alborubida DSM 40465^T, Nocardiopsis antarctica DSM 43884^T, and Nocardiopsis dassonvillei DSM 43111^T represent a single species designated N. dassonvillei. We also found that Nocardiopsis alba subsp. alba DSM 4337^T and N. alba subsp. prasina DSM 43845^T are genetically different and therefore propose that N. alba subsp. prasina be elevated to species status as Nocardiopsis prasina comb. nov., whose type strain is strain DSM 43845.
