A polyphasic study was undertaken to establish the taxonomic position of a soil isolate that had provisionally been assigned to the genus Rhodococcus. The organism showed a combination of phenotypic properties typical of rhodococci and formed a distinct phyletic line within the Rhodococcus erythropolis 165 rDNA subclade. The organism was readily distinguished from representatives of validly described species classified in this subclade on the basis of DNA-DNA relatedness and phenotypic data. Consequently, it is proposed that the organism be recognized as a novel species of Rhodococcus, Rhodococcus maanshanensis sp. nov. The type strain is strain M712(T) (= AS 4.1720(T) = JCM 11374(T)).
开展了一项多相研究,以确定一株暂归属于红球菌属的土壤分离株的分类地位。该菌株表现出红球菌典型的表型特征组合,并在红平红球菌165 rDNA亚分支内形成了一个独特的进化系。基于DNA-DNA相关性和表型数据,该菌株很容易与该亚分支中已有效描述的物种的代表区分开来。因此,建议将该菌株认定为红球菌属的一个新物种,即马鞍山红球菌(Rhodococcus maanshanensis sp. nov.)。模式菌株为M712(T)菌株(= AS 4.1720(T) = JCM 11374(T))。
