A polyphasic study was undertaken to establish the taxonomic position of an actinomycete strain isolated from a contaminated agar plate. The strain, designated 7031T, had morphological and chemotaxonomic properties typical of the genus Nocardia. An almost-complete 16S rRNA gene sequence determined for the strain was aligned with available sequences for nocardiae, and phylogenetic trees were inferred using three tree-generating algorithms. Strain 7031T clustered with the type strains of Nocardia carnea and Nocardia flavorosea, showing low 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities to these species (97·2 and 97·5 %, respectively). The strain was also distinguished from the closest species by a range of phenotypic properties. It is proposed that the strain be recognized as a novel species of Nocardia, Nocardia pigrifrangens sp. nov., the type strain of which is 7031T (=AS 4.1808T=JCM 11884T).

Published online ahead of print on 13 April 2004 as DOI 10.1099/ijs.0.03035-0.

The GenBank/EBML/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain 7031T is AF219974.

16S rRNA signatures of representative Nocardia species are available as supplementary data in IJSEM Online.
