The taxonomic positions of actinomycete strains ID03-0915T and ID03-0825, isolated from soil on the Indonesian island of Bali, were examined using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. The morphological and chemotaxonomic characteristics of these organisms are typical of the genus Streptomyces. Phylogenetic analyses performed using almost-complete 16S rRNA gene sequences demonstrated that the strains were closely related to Streptomyces glauciniger and Streptomyces lilacinus. However, DNA–DNA hybridization and phenotypic characteristics revealed that the strains differed from known Streptomyces species. Therefore, we conclude that strains ID03-0915T and ID03-0825 (=BTCC B-563) represent a novel species of the genus Streptomyces, for which we propose the name Streptomyces baliensis sp. nov. The type strain is strain ID03-0915T (=BTCC B-608T =NBRC 104276T).
The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession numbers for the 16S rRNA gene sequences of strains ID03-0915T (=NBRC 104276T) and ID03-0825 (=BTCC B-563) are AB441718 and AB441719.
Detailed cultural properties of the novel strains are available as supplementary material with the online version of this paper.
