Genetic and phenotypic evidence for Streptomyces griseus ecovars isolated from a beach and dune sand system

Abstract: This study was designed to determine the biogeography of six alkaliphilic Streptomyces strains which had been isolated from four locations within a 60 m transect across a beach and dune sand system. The six strains shared >99% 16S rRNA gene similarities with one another and with representative strains of Streptomyces griseus. Infraspecific diversity amongst the strains was investigated by multilocus sequence typing (MLST) in combination with carbon utilisation phenotypic testing. The results show that each of … Show more

“…Even in such cosmopolitan bacteria, there are local ecotypes that are unrelated to any other known strains (Gonzalez-Gonzalez et al, 2013; Avitia et al, 2014; Valdivia-Anistro et al, 2015). Streptomyces , a filament and spore producer, and the most extensively studied genera of Actinomycetes, has been studied and it had shown environmental gradients and regional endemism in some localities (Davelos et al, 2004; Antony-Babu, Stach & Goodfellow, 2008; Kinkel et al, 2014; Andam et al, 2016). …”

“…Streptomyces diversity varies spatially, though the influence of geographic distance and ecological variation remains poorly resolved. Ecological adaptation constrains the environmental distribution of Streptomyces, and their genetic and phenotypic diversity can vary in relation to soil characteristics at small spatial scale (1-60 m) in prairie soils (Davelos et al, 2004a,b) and in dune habitats (Antony-Babu et al, 2008). There is also evidence for dispersal limitation at very large (continental) spatial scales with endemic species observed in North America and Central Asia (Wawrik et al, 2007).…”
