The taxonomic position of two Tsukamurella strains isolated from activated sludge foam was clarified. The organisms, isolates JC85 and N1176T, were found to have chemical and morphological properties typical of members of the genus Tsukamurella. DNA-DNA relatedness studies showed that the strains formed a distinct genomic species that was most closely related to Tsukamurella spumae. The two isolates also share a range of phenotypic properties that distinguishes them from representatives of all species of Tsukamurella with validly published names. It is evident from the data that the two organisms should be classified as a novel Tsukamurella species, Tsukamurella pseudospumae sp. nov. The type strain is N1176T (=DSM 44118T=NCIMB 13963T).
从活性污泥泡沫中分离出的两株冢村氏菌属菌株的分类地位得以明确。发现菌株JC85和N1176T具有冢村氏菌属成员典型的化学和形态学特性。DNA-DNA相关性研究表明,这些菌株形成了一个独特的基因组种,与泡沫冢村氏菌关系最为密切。这两株分离菌还具有一系列表型特性,使其与所有已有效发表名称的冢村氏菌属物种的代表有所区别。从数据中可以明显看出,这两种菌应被归类为一个新的冢村氏菌物种,即假泡沫冢村氏菌(Tsukamurella pseudospumae sp. nov.)。模式菌株为N1176T(=DSM 44118T=NCIMB 13963T)。
