Evaluation of the antibiotic biosynthetic potential of the genus Amycolatopsis and description of Amycolatopsis circi sp. nov., Amycolatopsis equina sp. nov. and Amycolatopsis hippodromi sp. nov.

Abstract excerpt

AIMS: To describe three new Amycolatopsis strains and assess the antibiotic biosynthetic potential of the genus. METHODS AND RESULTS: Three strains, designated S1·3(T) , S3·6(T) and SE(8)3(T) , belonging to the genus Amycolatopsis were isolated and found to cluster together by 16S rRNA and gyrB gene-based phylogenetic analysis. Genetic distance values, based on the gyrB gene, were calculated between the strains...
