The taxonomic position of an actinomycete, designated strain IMMIB L-21 T , was determined using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. The organism, which had phenotypic properties consistent with its classification in the genus Nocardiopsis, formed a distinct clade in the 16S rRNA gene sequence tree together with the type strain of Nocardiopsis composta, but was readily distinguished from this species using DNA-DNA relatedness and phenotypic data. The genotypic and phenotypic data show that the organism represents a novel species of the genus Nocardiopsis, for which the name Nocardiopsis potens sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is IMMIB L-21 T (5DSM 45234 T 5CCUG 56587 T ).The genus Nocardiopsis was proposed by Meyer (1976) on the basis of chemotaxonomic and morphological characteristics. At the time of writing, the taxon encompasses 28 recognized species and 4 subspecies, which form a distinct clade within the evolutionary radiation occupied by members of the family Nocardiopsaceae (Rainey et al., 1996). Nocardiopsis strains are frequently isolated from saline soils (Yassin et al., 1993a;Li et al., , 2006, but they have also been recovered from an alkaline slag dump (Schippers et al., 2002), indoor environments (Peltola et al., 2001), the atmosphere of a composting facility (Kämpfer et al., 2002) and clinical material (Bernatchez & Lebreux, 1991;Yassin et al., 1997). In the present polyphasic study, an actinomycete isolated from household waste was shown to represent a novel species of the genus Nocardiopsis.Strain IMMIB L-21 T was isolated from a household dustbin on Brain Heart Infusion (BHI; BD) agar, glucose-yeast extract-malt extract agar (GYM; medium 65; DSMZ) and Columbia agar (BD) supplemented with 5 % sheep blood. The organism was grown on yeast extract-malt extract agar (ISP 2), oatmeal agar (ISP 3) and inorganic salts-starch agar (ISP 4) as described by Shirling & Gottlieb (1966) and examined for pigmentation and colour of aerial and substrate mycelia. Gram and ZiehlNeelsen stains were applied to hyphae grown on Columbia agar. Growth at different temperatures was determined at 10, 20, 27, 37 and 42 u C and a range of phenotypic characteristics was examined using standard procedures (Gordon, 1966(Gordon, , 1967Gordon & Mihm, 1957;Yassin et al., 1995). Tolerance to NaCl (0-16 %) was tested in GYM broth. Biomass for chemotaxonomic studies was derived from a 7-day-old BHI broth shake culture incubated at 37 u C, harvested by centrifugation and washed with distilled water. Standard procedures were used to determine the isomeric form of diaminopimelic acid (Becker et al., 1964), whole-cell sugars (Lechevalier, 1968), nonhydroxylated fatty acids (Minnikin et al., 1980;Yassin et al., 2007), polar lipids (Yassin et al., 1993b) and isoprenoid quinones (Collins et al., 1977;Yassin & Hupfer, 2006). Genomic DNA extraction and PCR-mediated amplification of the 16S rRNA gene sequence were carried out using established procedures (Rainey et al., 1996). The purified PCR products were sequenced using a Taq DyeDeoxy...

“…It was previously known as Actinomadura dassonvillei (Brocq-Rousseu, 1904;Lechevalier & Lechevalier, 1970) or Streptothrix dassonvillei or Nocardia dossonvillei (Brocq-Rousseu, 1904;Liegard & Landrieu, 1911). Human infection by N. dassonvillei has ranged from conjunctivitis (Liegard & Landrieu, 1911) and cutaneous infections (Ajello et al, 1987;González-Ló pez et al, 2011;Philip & Roberts, 1984;Sindhuphak et al, 1985;Singh et al, 1991), to pulmonary (Bernatchez & Lebreux, 1991;Mordarska et al, 1998) and disseminated (Beau et al, 1999;Lejbkowicz et al, 2005) infections. The rarity of reports of human infection may be attributed to the difficulty in identifying it in the routine diagnostic laboratory.…”

“…Nocardiopsis synnemataformans is the only other species of this genus reported to be associated with human infection (Yassin et al, 1997). N. dassonvillei has been isolated from the soil (Meyer, 1976), and implicated in sepsis (Beau et al, 1999;Lejbkowicz et al, 2005), mycetoma (Ajello et al, 1987;Sindhuphak et al, 1985), skin (González-Ló pez et al, 2011;Philip & Roberts, 1984;Singh et al, 1991) and pulmonary (Bernatchez & Lebreux, 1991;Mordarska et al, 1998) infections and conjunctivitis (Liegard & Landrieu, 1911). It has never been isolated from the nose or nasal infection.…”

The genus Nocardiopsis, a widespread group in phylum Actinobacteria, has received much attention owing to its ecological versatility, pathogenicity, and ability to produce a rich array of bioactive metabolites. Its high environmental adaptability might be attributable to its genome dynamics, which can be estimated through comparative genomic analysis targeting microorganisms with close phylogenetic relationships but different phenotypes. To shed light on speciation, gene content evolution, and environmental adaptation in these unique actinobacteria, we sequenced draft genomes for 16 representative species of the genus and compared them with that of the type species N. dassonvillei subsp. dassonvillei DSM 43111T. The core genome of 1,993 orthologous and paralogous gene clusters was identified, and the pan-genomic reservoir was found not only to accommodate more than 22,000 genes, but also to be open. The top ten paralogous genes in terms of copy number could be referred to three functional categories: transcription regulators, transporters, and synthases related to bioactive metabolites. Based on phylogenomic reconstruction, we inferred past evolutionary events, such as gene gains and losses, and identified a list of clade-specific genes implicated in environmental adaptation. These results provided insights into the genetic causes of environmental adaptability in this cosmopolitan actinobacterial group and the contributions made by its inherent features, including genome dynamics and the constituents of core and accessory proteins.
