LL-Dpm–Gly. The polar lipids are phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol mannosides and two unknown phospholipids. Predominant menaquinones are MK-9(H6) and -9(H4), and iso- and anteiso-branched C16 : 0 and C17 : 0 are the main cellular fatty acids. The DNA G+C content is 71.9 mol%. The distinct phylogenetic position and the unusual combination of chemotaxonomic characteristics justify the proposal of Catenulispora gen. nov., with the type species Catenulispora acidiphila sp. nov. (type strain, ID139908T =DSM 44928T=NRRL B-24433T). Catenulisporaceae fam. nov. is also proposed.
The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain ID139908T is AJ865857.
Supplementary figures showing a FESEM image, polar lipid composition and phylogenetic position of strain ID139908T are available in IJSEM Online.

) and antibiotic producers (Demain, 1998). Recent efforts in strain isolation (Sait et al., 2002; Joseph et al., 2003) and evidence from soil DNA (Monciardini et al., 2002) indicate the existence of novel taxa in the order Actinomycetales that may represent promising sources of novel metabolites (Bull et al., 2000; Donadio et al., 2002).
Isolation and cultivation of strain ID139908T
A soil sample collected from a wooded area in Gerenzano, Italy, was dried at 30 °C under vacuum for 7 days, resuspended in 18.2 mM citric acid, 164 mM Na2HPO4 buffer (pH 7), and aliquots from serial dilutions were deposited onto GTV plates [GTV contains 500 ml soil extract l–1 (prepared by autoclaving 100 g fresh soil resuspended in 500 ml H2O, followed by filtering through sterile gauze), 10 g gellan gum ml–1, 3 mM CaCl2 (resulting pH, 5) and was supplemented after autoclaving with 0.1 % (v/v) CMM vitamin solution (25 µg thiamin hydrochloride ml–1, 250 µg calcium pantothenate ml–1, 250 µg nicotinic acid ml–1, 500 µg biotin ml–1, 1.25 mg riboflavin ml–1, 6 µg vitamin B12 ml–1, 25 µg p-aminobenzoic acid ml–1, 500 µg folic acid ml–1 and 500 µg pyridoxal hydrochloride ml–1) and 50 µg cycloheximide ml–1] and incubated at 28 °C. Seven strains, which appeared after an 8 week incubation, were related closely on the basis of their 16S rRNA gene sequences. One of these isolates was chosen for further studies and maintained on ISP2 agar (Shirling & Gottlieb, 1966) adjusted to pH 5.5–6.0 with HCl, and was designated strain ID139908T.
Morphology
Morphology of aerial mass was examined directly on HSA5 agar plates [HSA5 consists of 0.5 g humic acid l–1, 1 mg FeSO4.7H2O l–1, 1 mg MnCl2.4H2O l–1, 1 mg ZnSO4.7H2O l–1, 1 mg NiSO4.6H2O l–1, 10 mM N-cyclohexyl-2-aminoethanesulfonic acid, 20 g agar l–1, adjusted to pH 5.5 and supplemented after autoclaving with 0.1 % (v/v) CMM vitamin solution] after a 3–4 week incubation at 28 °C, under a light microscope equipped with a x40 long working distance objective (model ULWD-CDPlan; Olympus) and fitted with a 3CCD camera (Sony). Strain ID139908T forms a branched, non-fragmenting, vegetative mycelium and straight to slightly flexuous aerial hyphae. When drops of an H2O suspension of aerial mass from 3- or 4-week-old cultures were incubated at 28 °C and checked under light microscopy at 30 min intervals for 2 h, motile elements were not observed.
Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) was performed as described elsewhere (Hammerschmidt et al., 2005) by fixing samples of 3-week-old HSA5 agar cultures of strain ID139908T with glutaraldehyde (2 %) and formaldehyde (5 %). FESEM revealed long filaments of aerial hyphae that showed marked septation, resulting in chains of more than 20 cylindrical arthrospores (see Supplementary Fig. S1, available in IJSEM Online). Spores show a rugose surface and are 0.4–1.0 µm long, with a mean diameter of 0.5 µm (Fig. 1).

, but acidified to pH 5.5–6.0 with HCl. Inocula for cultural and physiological analyses were obtained by growing strain ID139908T in ATSB medium (17 g casitone l–1, 3 g soytone l–1, 2.5 g glucose l–1, 10 mM MES, adjusted to pH 5.8 with HCl) for 1 week at 28 °C on a rotary shaker at 200 r.p.m. Mycelium was washed with sterile H2O and then diluted to a suitable inoculum. Aliquots of the suspension were streaked in a cross-hatched manner onto the media used. Unless stated otherwise, all evaluations were made after 3 weeks incubation at 28 °C. The pH range for growth was determined by using ISP2 as basal medium, adjusted to the desired values with HCl or NaOH. Temperature range for growth and NaCl and lysozyme tolerance were determined by using acidified (pH 5.5–6.0) ISP2 medium.
Table 1 shows the appearance of strain ID139908T on various agar media. It grew well on most of the tested media, with production of brownish pigments and whitish aerial mass, turning to yellow/green with age. However, the brownish pigments were not observed in tyrosine-supplemented Suter medium (Suter, 1978), suggesting that they are not melanin-related. Strain ID139908T grew well on media at initial pH between 4.3 and 6.8, with an optimum around pH 6.0, but scant growth was visible up to pH 7.5. This strain must thus be considered an acidophile. Optimal growth occurred between 22 and 28 °C and measurable growth also occurred at 11 and 32 °C.

), glucose, arabinose, xylose, mannitol, fructose and glycerol supported good growth, whereas no visible colonies were formed with sucrose, inositol, rhamnose or cellulose; scant growth was observed with raffinose. Aerobiosis-related properties were analysed on acidified ISP2 agar medium (plates were stored at 4 °C and evaporated before use) under an aerobic, microaerophilic (GasPack system with a Gas Generating kit for Campylobacter; Oxoid BR056A) or anaerobic atmosphere. Strain ID139908T grew better under aerobic conditions, but reduced, non-pigmented growth was also obtained in microaerophilic and anaerobic atmospheres. The strain was positive for catalase (evaluated by mixing 0.8 ml of a 1-week-old ATSB culture with 0.5 ml freshly prepared 3 % hydrogen peroxide), starch hydrolysis and gelatin liquefaction (Gottlieb, 1961), casein degradation [evaluated on acidified 1.5 % (w/v) skimmed-milk agar] and H2S production (detected 2 days after inserting sterile lead acetate filter-paper strips into the necks of culture tubes containing acidified ISP6 medium). Strain ID139908T was negative for nitrate reduction [evaluated after 3 and 7 days in ATSB medium supplemented with 2 g KNO3 l–1, using Bacto-Nitrite test strips (Difco) to reveal the presence of nitrites]. When 15 µl of an antibiotic solution (10 µg ml–1) was spotted onto previously inoculated, acidified ISP2 plates, after 1 week at 28 °C, strain ID139908T was found to be resistant to nalidixic acid, oxacillin, apramycin, daunomycin, GE2270, nisin, rifampicin and kanamycin, but sensitive to novobiocin, thiostrepton, A40926 and ramoplanin.
Chemotaxonomic characteristics
Freeze-dried biomass was obtained from a 1-week culture in ATSB medium. The peptidoglycan of strain ID139908T, analysed as described by Schleifer & Kandler (1972) and modified according to Willems et al. (1997), contained LL-diaminopimelic acid (Dpm), glycine, glutamic acid and alanine. From the two-dimensional TLC pattern (data not shown) of peptides in the partial peptidoglycan hydrolysate (4 M HCl, 100 °C, 45 min), the peptidoglycan was assigned to type A3 LL-Dpm–Gly (A41.1 according to http://www.dsmz.de/species/murein.htm). Menaquinones [determined as described by Groth et al. (1997)] were MK-9(H6), -9(H4) and -9(H8) (ratio of peak areas, 4.5 : 2.8 : 1.0, respectively). Whole-cell sugars [determined according to Staneck & Roberts (1974)] contained large amounts of arabinose, together with xylose, ribose, rhamnose and glucose. The polar lipid pattern [determined according to Groth et al. (1997)] consists of phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol mannosides and two unknown phospholipids (see Supplementary Fig. S2, available in IJSEM Online). The cellular fatty acid profile of strain ID139908T, analysed as described by Miller (1982), is composed of i-C16 : 0 (47.05 %), ai-C17 : 0 (12.73 %), i-C17 : 0 (5.73 %), C16 : 0 (5.61 %), i-C17 : 1
9c (4.69 %), i-C15 : 0 (4.26 %), i-C16 : 1 (3.41 %), C16 : 17c (3.16 %), ai-C17 : 19c (2.84 %), ai-C15 : 0 (2.25 %), C18 : 19c (1.43 %), C17 : 0 cyclo (1.17 %) and C17 : 18c (1.06 %) (fatty acids representing <1.00 % of the total are not reported). The DNA G+C content of strain ID139908T, determined according to Mesbah et al. (1989), is 71.5 mol%.
Although strain ID139908T and members of the family Streptomycetaceae share the presence of LL-diaminopimelic acid in the peptidoglycan and type 2c fatty acids (sensu Kroppenstedt, 1985), their phospholipid and whole-cell sugar patterns, as well as the menaquinone composition, clearly differentiate them (Korn-Wendisch & Kutzner, 1992; Zhang et al., 1997; Kim et al., 2003).
Phylogenetic analysis
The almost-complete 16S rRNA gene sequence for strain ID139908T [1441 nt, corresponding to 93.3 % of the Escherichia coli sequence (Brosius et al., 1978)] was determined and compared with all GenBank entries as described previously (Monciardini et al., 2003). The partial 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain ID139908T is 98.6–99.5 % identical to those of the actinomycete strains Ellin 5093, 5062, 5034, 5119 and 5116 (Joseph et al., 2003), recently isolated from a pasture soil in Ellinbank, Australia, and >99 % identical to those of ‘bacterium 12202’ (GenBank accession no. AY639903) and ‘Actinobacterium Aac30’ (GenBank accession no. AB180773). No description of these strains has, to our knowledge, appeared in the literature. Among species with validly published names, the highest binary similarity values are with members of the suborder Frankineae, namely Sporichthya polymorpha DSM 43042T (93 %) and Geodermatophilus obscurus DSM 43161 (92.5 %). Representatives of several actinomycete lineages have 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities to ID139908T of between 91 and 92 %. Although strain ID139908T clearly belongs to the order Actinomycetales, it does not seem to be affiliated to any of the described lineages within the order. Of the two described bacterial strains with the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence relatedness to strain ID139908T, S. polymorpha DSM 43042T also contains LL-diaminopimelic acid in its peptidoglycan, but the menaquinones differ, as strain ID139908T has MK-9(H6) and -9(H4) as major components, in contrast to DSM 43042T, which has MK-9(H6) and -9(H8) (Rainey et al., 1993). The fatty acid patterns also differentiate the two strains, as S. polymorpha is a 3c type, in contrast to ID139908T, which is of the 2c type (Kroppenstedt, 1985). Morphologically, the two strains are also completely different, as S. polymorpha exhibits a unique life cycle with the absence of a vegetative mycelium and the aerial mycelium dividing into rod-shaped to coccoid spores that are motile (Lechevalier & Lechevalier, 1989). G. obscurus DSM 43161 is even more different from ID139908T, as the two strains do not share any chemotaxonomic markers (Goodfellow, 1989) and G. obscurus does not show the growth-cycle characteristics of filamentous actinomycetes (Luedemann & Fonseca, 1989). Phenotypic characteristics of other members of the suborder Frankineae can be found elsewere (Tamura et al., 1998; Maszenan et al., 2005).
When the sequence of strain ID139908T was aligned with those deposited for the Ellinbank isolates and with those obtained from similar strains isolated in our laboratory, we could identify the signature nucleotides of the order Actinomycetales with the exception of position 449, where a C is found instead of the A proposed for the order (Stackebrandt et al., 1997). However, we could not find the signature nucleotide pattern of any of the other described suborders (Stackebrandt et al., 1997). Of the six signatures described for the suborder Frankineae, three are not found in ID139908T and related strains, namely 141 : 222 (A–U instead of G–C), 371 : 390 (A–U instead of G–C) and 1003 : 1037 (G–C instead of G–G).
The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain ID139908T was aligned with those of the type species of the major actinomycete lineages and analysed as described previously (Monciardini et al., 2003). The resulting phylogenetic tree is shown in Fig. 2. As no obvious relatives of the novel strain could be identified, we included in the analysis representatives of different families of the various suborders, with a particular focus on filamentous actinomycetes. Strain ID139908T, together with the Ellinbank isolates (Joseph et al., 2003), forms a coherent clade within the Actinomycetales lineage, clearly distinguished from other described strains. Although the closest relatives of the novel lineage appear to be members of the suborder Frankineae, bootstrap values are too low to allow definitive phylogenetic placement within this suborder, as also suggested by the low pairwise identity of 16S rRNA gene sequences and by the differences in the pattern of signature nucleotides. A phylogenetic tree obtained from the alignment of the 16S rRNA gene sequences of representatives of the described families of the suborder Frankineae (Tamura et al., 1998; Maszenan et al., 2005) with those of strain ID139908T and related strains further confirms that the two lineages are independent (see Supplementary Fig. S3, available in IJSEM Online). Additional phylogenetic analyses, performed with different sequences and treeing methods, confirm the high divergence of ID139908T and related sequences from representatives of described families of the Actinomycetales (not shown). Altogether, phylogenetic data indicate that strain ID139908T is sufficiently divergent from known bacterial species as to be described as being representative of a novel genus. In addition, these data support the hypothesis that strain ID139908T, along with the closely related Ellinbank strains, represents a novel family within the order Actinomycetales. Thus, it is proposed that Catenulispora gen. nov. should be established in order to harbour strain ID139908T. Following the guidelines for the affiliation to higher hierarchical taxa in the class Actinobacteria proposed by Stackebrandt et al. (1997), which base the clustering solely on phylogenetic relationships, we propose the description of Catenulisporaceae fam. nov. to accommodate the proposed genus Catenulispora.

The family contains the type genus Catenulispora. The pattern of 16S rRNA gene signatures consists of nt 127 : 234 (G–C), 129 : 232 (U–A), 449 (C), 580 : 761 (U–A), 586 : 755 (U–A), 591 : 648 (C–G), 824 : 876 (A–U), 825 : 875 (A–U), 834 : 852 (G–U), 838 : 848 (U–G), 952 : 1229 (U–A), 999 : 1041 (U–U) and 1000 : 1040 (U–U). A phylogenetic analysis is presented in this study.
