During a study of the distribution of actinomycetes in a mangrove zone, a strain forming spore chains borne on the tip of short sporophores arising directly from the agar surface was isolated from soil. The isolate contained glutamic acid, glycine, alanine and meso-diaminopimelic acid as cell-wall amino acids, menaquinone MK-10(H6, H8), fatty acid type 2d and xylose in the whole-cell hydrolysate. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of the isolate formed a monophyletic cluster with the members of the genus Asanoa in the family Micromonosporaceae. On the basis of morphological and chemotaxonomic characteristics, phylogenetic analysis and DNA–DNA hybridization, a novel species of the genus Asanoa is proposed for strain TT 97-02T (=NBRC 100142T=DSM 44745T), Asanoa iriomotensis sp. nov.

Abbreviations: A2pm, diaminopimelic acid

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of Asanoa iriomotensis TT 97-02T is AB112081.

A scanning electron micrograph showing sporulation of strain TT 97-02T is available as supplementary material in IJSEM Online.
