    Abstract:
    Two novel actinobacteria, strain PSKA28T and PSKA54T were isolated from soil sample of Kashmir-Himalaya, India (latitude 34°-01' N; longitude 74°-47' E; altitude 5328 ft). Polyphasic-taxonomic analysis revealed that these strains belong to the genus Streptomyces. The 16S rRNA gene-sequence similarity of these strain were highest (98.6%) with that of the Streptomyces torulosus NRRLB-3889T. They showed 92.1% gyrB gene-sequence similarity but 92.9 and 94.6% rpoB gene-sequence similarity, respectively, with Streptomyces torulosus NRRLB-3889T. The sequence similarities were significantly lower than the recommended threshold value for novel taxonomic position and the 16S rRNA sequence-based phylogenetic analysis indicated that these two isolates are in distinct clade. Phylogenomic analysis with their genome sequences, conferred by Type Strain Genome Server separated them from rest of the Streptomyces type strains. The cell wall contained LL-diaminopimelic acid and the whole-cell hydrolysate contained glucose and ribose. Major fatty acid methyl esters were 15:0 anteiso, 16:0 iso and 17:0 anteiso. Average nucleotide identity, average amino acid identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) values as well as evolutionary distance based on multilocus sequence analysis, between closely related type strains and either of the strain PSKA28T or PSKA54T, were considerably lower than the recommended threshold value (< 70% dDDH or < 95-96% ANI/AAI or > 0.007 MLSA distance). Therefore, these isolates represent a novel Streptomyces species, for which we proposed the name Streptomyces himalayensis sp. nov. Genotypic and phenotypic analyses clearly split these strains into two closely related sub-clusters. Based on this, two novel subspecies Streptomyces himalayensis subsp. himalayensis subsp. nov. and Streptomyces himalayensis subsp. aureolus subsp. nov. are proposed, with type strains JCM33755T (= MTCC12933T, MCC4145T) and JCM33759T (= MTCC12938, MCC4180), respectively.
