An actinomycete, strain B60^T, was isolated from a soil sample in Napier, Western Cape province of South Africa. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and chemotaxonomy, strain B60^T was identified as a member of the genus Actinomadura. Strain B60^T produced an antibiotic with activity against Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecium and Mycobacterium aurum, but not against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Significant differences in morphological and physiological characteristics indicate that strain B60^T represents a novel species of the genus Actinomadura. The name Actinomadura napierensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is B60^T (=DSM 44846^T=NRRL B-24319^T).

Published online ahead of print on 8 October 2004 as DOI 10.1099/ijs.0.63359-0.

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of Actinomadura napierensis B60^T is AY568292.

A more complete neighbour-joining tree for strain B60^T and closely related Actinomadura species is available as a supplementary figure in IJSEM Online.
