Three actinomycetes, designated strains VN05A0342, VN05A0351 and VN05A0415T, were isolated from plant-litter samples collected in the north of Vietnam and examined in a polyphasic taxonomic study. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that these isolates were most closely related to the type strain of Kineosporia mikuniensis (98.5% sequence similarity). Morphological properties (the formation of spore domes and motile spores) and chemotaxonomic data supported the assignment of the three isolates to the genus Kineosporia.The isolates all contained the following: meso-diaminopimelic acid in the peptidoglycan (with small amounts of the LL isomer); ribose, m...
