Agromyces italicus sp. nov., Agromyces humatus sp. nov. and Agromyces lapidis sp. nov., isolated from Roman catacombs
A polyphasic study was carried out to clarify the taxonomic positions of three Gram-positive isolates from the Catacombs of Domitilla, Rome (Italy). 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons placed these strains within the genus Agromyces. The morphological and chemotaxonomic characteristics of these isolates were consistent wiih the description of the genus Agromyces. The three isolates could be readily distinguished from one another and from representatives of all Agromyces species with validly published names by a broad range of phenotypic characteristics and DNA-DNA relatedness studies. Therefore, these isolates are proposed to represent three novel species of the genus Agromyces, Agromyces italicus sp. nov. (type strain CD1T=HKI 0325T=DSM 16388T=NCIMB 14011T), Agromyces humatus sp. nov. (type strain CD5T=HKI 0327T=DSM 16389T=NCIMB 14012T) and Agromyces lapidis sp. nov. (type strain CD55T =HKI 0324T=DSM 16390T=NCIMB 14013T). © 2005 IUMS.
