An actinomycete strain was recovered from a pond where radon is known to be dissolved. A polyphasic study was undertaken to identify the new isolate. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain WA201^T showed closest similarity to the type strains of Micromonospora carbonacea (98·5 %) and Micromonospora matsumotoense (98·1 %). The chemotaxonomic results confirmed the taxonomic position of the isolate in the genus Micromonospora. DNA–DNA relatedness values supported the classification of this isolate as a novel species. A number of physiological and biochemical tests were able to distinguish strain WA201^T from its closest phylogenetic neighbours. Therefore, it is proposed that isolate WA201^T (=DSM 44830^T=LMG 22229^T) be considered the type strain representing a novel species, Micromonospora mirobrigensis sp. nov.

Published online ahead of print on 5 November 2004 as DOI 10.1099/ijs.0.63361-0.

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain WA201^T is AJ626950.

Cellular fatty acid profiles and an extended phylogenetic dendrogram are available as supplementary material in IJSEM Online.
