The taxonomic status of a marine actinomycete isolated from the sponge Haliclona sp. collected from Cebu, Philippines, was established using both phenotypic and genotypic data. Strain SPE 10-1T exhibited chemotaxonomic and morphological characteristics that were consistent with those of members of the genus Saccharopolyspora. It showed a strict requirement for salt and is the first obligate marine bacterium of the genus Saccharopolyspora to be isolated. The principal isoprenoid quinone detected was MK-9(H4). The fatty acid pattern consisted mainly of terminally branched iso and anteiso fatty acids. The DNA G+C content was 72.6 mol%. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence supported affiliation of the strain with the genus Saccharopolyspora; the type strain of Saccharopolyspora gregorii was the closest phylogenetic relative (96 % sequence similarity). Sequence similarities of strain SPE 10-1T to other type strains of this genus were 93–95 %. It is proposed that strain SPE 10-1T should be classified in the genus Saccharopolyspora as a representative of Saccharopolyspora cebuensis sp. nov. The type strain of Saccharopolyspora cebuensis is SPE 10-1T (=DSM 45019T=CIP 109355T).

Abbreviations: ASW, artificial seawater

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain SPE 10-1T is EF030715.
