A bacterial strain, GW-9^T, which was isolated from groundwater in Korea, was subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study using phenotypic characterization and phylogenetic and genetic methods. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rDNA sequences showed that strain GW-9^T forms an evolutionary lineage within the radiation enclosing Nocardioides species and, in particular, a coherent cluster with Nocardioides pyridinolyticus. The cell-wall peptidoglycan type of strain GW-9^T was based on LL-diaminopimelic acid as the diamino acid, indicating wall chemotype I. The predominant menaquinone was MK-8(H₄). Strain GW-9^T had a cellular fatty acid profile containing straight-chain, branched, unsaturated and 10-methyl fatty acids. The major fatty acid was iso-C_{16 : 0}. The DNA G+C content of strain GW-9^T was 73 mol%. The 16S rDNA of strain GW-9^T was 99·2 % similar to that of the type strain of Nocardioides pyridinolyticus and 94·9–96·0 % similar to sequences of the type strains of other Nocardioides species. Differences in phenotypic characteristics and genetic distinctiveness indicate that strain GW-9^T is separate from previously described Nocardioides species. Therefore, on the basis of the data presented, a novel species of the genus Nocardioides, Nocardioides aquiterrae sp. nov., is proposed. The type strain is strain GW-9^T (=KCCM 41647^T=JCM 11813^T).

Published online ahead of print on 8 August 2003 as DOI 10.1099/ijs.0.02585-0.

The GenBank accession number for the 16S rDNA sequence of strain GW-9^T is AF529063.
