Phylogenetic analysis of ‘Streptomyces tenebrarius’ NBRC 16177 on the basis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that this organism was related to Streptoalloteichus hindustanus. It possessed glutamic acid, alanine and meso-diaminopimelic acid as cell-wall amino acids, galactose, mannose and glucose as whole-cell sugars and the menaquinones MK-10(H6), MK-10(H4), MK-9(H6) and MK-9(H4). The chemotaxonomic characteristics of this strain were consistent with those of the genus Streptoalloteichus. DNA–DNA hybridization, physiological, biochemical and chemotaxonomic data revealed that ‘Streptomyces tenebrarius’ can be easily differentiated from the other member of the genus Streptoalloteichus and that it merits separate species status. The phenotypic and genetic evidence reveals that ‘Streptomyces tenebrarius’ represents a novel species of the genus Streptoalloteichus; the name Streptoalloteichus tenebrarius (ex Higgins and Kastner) nom. rev., comb. nov. is proposed for this species. The type strain is NBRC 16177T (=ATCC 17920T =DSM 40477T =JCM 4838T =NRRL B-12390T =ISP 5477T).

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain NBRC 16177 is AB184722.

A comparison of the fatty acid profiles of strain NBRC 16177 and Streptoalloteichus hindustanus NBRC 15115T is available as supplementary material with the online version of this paper.
