Actinoalloteichus cyanogriseus gen. nov., sp. nov.

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Phylogenetic analysis of 'Actinoalloteichus cyanogriseus' based on its 16S rDNA sequence confirmed that the organism belongs to the family Pseudonocardiaceae. It contains glutamic acid, alanine and meso-diaminopimelic acid as cell wall amino acids, and menaquinone 9 (H4). Its taxonomic characteristics differ from those of the previously described organisms of the family Pseudonocardiaceae. On the basis of these morphological, physiological, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic analyses, a new genus, Actinoalloteichus, is proposed, along with a new species, namely Actinoalloteichus cyanogriseus sp. nov. The type strain is A. cyanogriseus IFO 14455T (= AS 4.1159T = JCM 6095T).
