A novel actinobacterium, designated as strain A1-08 T , was isolated from the volcanic soils of Mt. Mayon, Philippines. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that strain A1-08 T belonged to the genus Streptomyces with sequence similarity with Streptomyces djakartensis NBRC 15409 T (99.02%), Streptomyces tuirus NBRC 15617 T (98.88%) and Streptomyces mutabilis NBRC 12800 T (98.81%). Polyphasic characterization demonstrated distinct morphological, cultural, physiological and biochemical features with unique lipid and fatty acid profiles and respiratory quinones. The major phospholipids of strain A1-08 T are diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, glycophospholipid with mannose and/or galactose and unidentified lipids such as aminolipid and phospholipid. The major cellular fatty acids were anteiso-C 15 : 0 , C 16 : 0 , anteiso-C 17 : 0 , iso-C 16 : 0 , iso-C 15 : 0 and C 16 : 1 ω 7c. The respiratory quinones of the strain include MK-9 (H6), MK-9 (H8), MK-10 (H6) and MK-10 (H8). Multilocus analysis using the concatenated sequences of atpD , gyrB , recA , rpoB and trpB showed that the strain formed a distinct branch in the genus Streptomyces. Potential genes for environmental stress response and adaptation were identified in the genome of strain A1-08 T and its closest relative strains. Whole-genome sequencing confirmed A1-08 T as a novel species within Streptomyces with 57.80% digital DNA–DNA hybridization and 93.03% average nt identity value with the closest type strain Streptomyces olivaceus NRRL B-3009 T . The name Streptomyces mayonensis sp. nov., derived from the Mayon Volcano in the Philippines, is hereby proposed (type strain A1-08 T =JCM 36345, =DSM 118395).
