A coccoid, non-motile actinobacterium, designated strain YIM 70003T, was isolated from a saline, alkaline, desert-soil sample from Egypt. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the organism formed a distinct phyletic line within the genus Kocuria and was most closely related to Kocuria polaris DSM 14382T (98·6 % sequence similarity) and Kocuria rosea DSM 20447T (98·2 %). Chemotaxonomic data, including the Lys–Ala3 peptidoglycan type, the presence of phosphatidylglycerol and diphosphatidylglycerol as the predominant phospholipids, the presence of MK-8(H2) and MK-9(H2) as the major menaquinones, the predominance of fatty acids ai-C15 : 0 and i-C15 : 0 and the DNA G+C content, also supported the affiliation of the isolate to the genus Kocuria. The low DNA–DNA relatedness with K. polaris DSM 14382T (56·6 %) and K. rosea DSM 20447T (15·5 %) in combination with phenotypic data show that strain YIM 70003T should be classified as a novel species of the genus Kocuria. The name Kocuria aegyptia sp. nov. is proposed, with strain YIM 70003T (=CCTCC AA203006T=CIP 107966T=KCTC 19010T=DSM 17006T) as the type strain.

Published online ahead of print on 2 December 2005 as DOI 10.1099/ijs.0.63876-0.

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain YIM 70003T is DQ059617.
