Later to the publication of the article, another Streptomyces species has recently been named as Streptomyces mangrovi. We here propose a replacement name for the taxon represented by strain GY1T and its description is given below.
Description of Streptomyces mangrovicola sp. nov.
Streptomyces mangrovicola (man.gro.vi’co.la. N.L. mangrovum mangrove; L. suff -cola (from L.n. incola) an inhabitant; N.L. n. mangrovicola, mangrove inhabitant).
Aerobic, Gram-positive, non-acid-alcohol fast actinomycete which forms an extensively branched substrate mycelium which carries aerial hyphae that differentiate into spiral chains of rough to warty ornamented spores on yeast extract-malt extract agar. Melanin pigments are not formed on peptone-yeast extract or tyrosine agars. Grows from 10 to 45 °C, optimally ∽28 °C, from pH 7.0 to 11, optimally ∽pH 7.0, and in the presence of 10 %, w/v synthetic sea salt. Obligate requirement for seawater. Tweens 20 and 60, and xylan are degraded, but not adenine, hypoxanthine, l -tyrosine or xanthine. Hydrolyses aesculin and arbutin and produces H2S. Grows on l -arabinose, dextrin, glycogen, l -lactose, d -maltose, d -mannose, d -melibiose, l -ribose, d -salicin, d -sorbose and d -sucrose as sole carbon sources, but not on xylitol (all at 1 %, w/v). l -arginine, l -asparagine and l -valine are used as sole carbon and nitrogen sources, but not l -alanine, l -aminobutyric acid, l -cysteine, l -hydroxyproline, l -isoleucine, dl -methionine, l -norvaline, l -ornithine, l -phenylalanine, l -proline, l -serine or l -tryptophan as sole nitrogen sources (all at 0.1 %, w/v). Additional phenotypic features are cited in the main text and in Tables 1 and 2 of the original paper. Chemotaxonomic properties are typical of the genus Streptomyces.
The type strain, GY1T (=NCIMB 14980T =NRRL B-69296T) was isolated from the sediment of the mangrove plant Avicennia mariana at Wadi El Jimal on the Red Sea coast in Egypt. The species description is based on a single strain and thereby serves as a description of the type strain. The GenBank accession number for the 16S rRNA sequence of strain GY1T is KP221800.
