“…Caves represent an interesting environment that is unique and distinct from other terrestrial habitats. During a screening for novel actinobacteria from a natural cave in Jeju Island, Republic of Korea, many novel bacterial strains that were affiliated to the class Actinobacteria were described [9,[11][12][13][14][15]. Among them, it was found that two actinobacterial strains, designated as D2-41 T and D3-21, showed an uncertain taxonomic rank within the order Mycobacteriales through preliminary 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis.…”

Two Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, non-spore-forming, non-motile, irregular rod-shaped actinobacteria, designated as D2-41T and D3-21, were isolated from soil samples collected in a natural cave in Jeju, Republic of Korea. Both of the isolates were shown to share 100 % 16S rRNA sequence identity. The cell wall contained meso-diaminopimelic acid, arabinose and galactose. The predominant menaquinone was MK-8(H2). The polar lipids contained phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol mannoside, an unidentified aminolipid, an unidentified aminoglycolipid, an unidentified phospholipid and two unidentified lipids. The predominant fatty acids were C16 : 0 and summed feature 3 (C16 : 1 ω7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH). Mycolic acids of C30–C38 were present. The 16S rRNA gene trees showed that the organisms occupied a distinct position remotely located from recognized genera within the order Mycobacteriales, albeit with the 16S rRNA gene similarities of 97.0–97.1 % with Rhodococcus olei, Rhodococcus rhodnii and Rhodococcus triatomae. The genome sizes and DNA G+C contents of strains D2-41T and D3-21 were 4.77–4.88 Mbp and 69.8 mol%, respectively. Both of the isolates shared an average nucleotide identity of 99.4 % and digital DNA–DNA hybridization of 95.2 % to each other, revealing that strains D2-41T and D3-21 belonged to the same species. In the core genome-based phylogenomic tree, both of the isolates were found to be closely associated with members of the genus Tomitella. However, strains D2-41T and D3-21 revealed the highest amino acid identity values (mean 66.5 %, range 66.2–67.0 % with the genus Prescottella of the family Nocardiaceae, followed by the genus Tomitella (mean 64.1 %, range 63.6–64.7 %) of the family Tomitellaceae. Based on the combined data obtained here, the novel isolates belong to a new genus of the new family for which the name Speluncibacter jeojiensis gen. nov. sp. nov. is proposed, with Speluncibacteraceae fam. nov. The type strain is strain D2-41T (=KACC 17930T=DSM 101875T).
