Agromyces badenianii sp. nov., isolated from plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae)

Abstract

The GenBank accession numbers for the 16S rRNA gene sequences of strains MF30-A T and MF845 are MG461699 and MG461861, respectively. The GenBank accession numbers for the genome sequences of strains MF30-A T and MF845 are CP028913 and QEFA00000000, respectively. Four supplementary figures and two supplementary tables are available with the online version of this article.

Protaetiibacter larvae sp. nov. and Agromyces intestinalis sp. nov., isolated from the gut of larvae of Protaetia brevitarsis seulensis, reclassification of Lysinimonas yzui as Pseudolysinimonas yzui comb. nov. and emended description of the genus Pseudolysinimonas

“…The peptidoglycan type of strain CFWR-9 T was suggested to be type B1. This type of peptidoglycan has previously been observed in a number of Agromyces species [5, 12, 39, 40].…”

“…The genus is classified into the family Microbacteriaceae, the order Micrococcales and the class Actinobacteria. It is Gram-stainpositive, non-spore-forming, microaerophilic to aerobic, filamentous and non-filamentous, and catalase-and oxidasevariable [7][8][9][10][11][12]. Chemotaxonomically, it possesses B-type peptidoglycan, anteiso-C 15 : 0 , anteiso-C 17 : 0 and iso-C 16 : 0 as the major fatty acids, and MK-11 and MK-12 as the predominant menaquinones [6,13].…”

Agromyces archimandritae sp. nov., isolated from the cockroach Archimandrita tessellata

“…In recent years a number of species of the genus Agromyces have been described [4], and today 38 species with validly published names have been described, according to the LPSN database [5]. Most species of the genus Agromyces have been isolated from soil, sediments or the rhizospheres of plants, with the exception of Agromyces badenianii , which was isolated from the mammal plateau pika [6], Agromyces atrinae , from fermented seafood [7] and Agromyces protaetiae ,from the gut larva of beetle Protaetia bervistarsis [8]. Certain species of the genus Agromyces produce catabolic or lytic enzymes that can degrade environmental pollutants such as halo-organic compounds [9] and nylon-oligomer materials [10].…”

Agromyces laixinhei sp. nov. isolated from bat feces in China

“…Our laboratory has investigated the microbiome diversity of wild animals since 2014 to identify potentially pathogenic microbial species and dissect the process of disease transmission. So far, we have analyzed samples from Tibetan antelopes (Wang et al, 2018), plateau pikas (Li et al, 2020), snow finches (Ge et al, 2020), and Tibetan wild asses (Huang et al, 2019), and uncovered novel bacterial species facilitated by whole genome sequencing. Bats, the only flying mammal, are natural reservoirs of Ebola virus and SARS-like coronaviruses (Ge et al, 2012(Ge et al, , 2013.…”

“…Studies directly addressing the importance of Agromyces in its associated ecosystems and its physiology are rare, however, Agromyces likely influences its environment in many ways, e.g., by interacting with other microbes (Casida, 1983). So far, most members of the genus are soil-associated, and some may be opportunistic pathogen (Sridhar et al, 2015), only a few were isolated from other habitats, e.g., fermented seafood (Park et al, 2010), gut of insect larvae and plateau pika (Heo et al, 2020;Li et al, 2020). However, there are a lot of unknowns about this genus that remain to be investigated.…”
