Summary: Two strains of Actinobacteria, CRXT-Y-14(T) and CRXT-G-22(T), isolated from healthy leaves and seeds of Xanthium sibiricum, display characteristic morphological features consistent with the Streptomyces genus. Phylogenetic analyses suggest CRXT-Y-14(T) may represent a novel species, while CRXT-G-22(T) is closely related to Streptomyces acidiscabies. Proper classification as Streptomyces xanthii and Streptomyces roseirectus is proposed based on genetic and phenotypic characteristics.

Summary: The study identified a new species, Streptomyces griseiscabiei, using whole-genome average nucleotide identity and multilocus sequence analyses on Streptomyces strain NRRL B-2795T (previously classified as Streptomyces scabiei). Another Streptomyces strain, NRRL B-16521, previously suggested as a potential novel species, was reclassified as Streptomyces acidiscabies. Both strains cause common scab on multiple cultivars of potato.

Summary: Two endophytic actinobacteria were isolated from the roots of Barleria lupulina collected in Thailand, and identified as novel species of the genus Streptomyces, namely Streptomyces cylindrosporus and Streptomyces spinosisporus. They exhibited distinct morphological characteristics, chemotaxonomic properties, and 16S rRNA gene sequences from closely related type strains. Comparative genome analysis confirmed their differentiation at the species level. These findings contribute to the understanding and classification of Streptomyces species.

Summary: Two new actinobacteria strains, designated IBSBF 2807T and IBSBF 2953T, were isolated from scab lesions on potato tubers in southern Brazil. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that these strains belong to the genus Streptomyces. Further analysis using multiple genes and PCR-RFLP confirmed that these strains are distinct from other Streptomyces strains associated with potato scab.

Summary: Hermetia illucens larvae, also known as black soldier fly larvae (BSFL), are efficient in converting organic waste into high-quality biomass. This study explored the role of gut microbes in this process by culturing members of the core gut microbiota. Two cultivation strategies were employed, dilution-to-extinction cultivation and direct plating, resulting in the isolation of a diverse range of bacterial strains. Phylogenetic analysis identified predominant genera, such as Providencia, Proteus, Morganella, Enterococcus, Bacillus, and members of the family Enterobacteriaceae, which have been previously associated with the BSFL gut microbiota. Genomic fingerprinting provided insights into the genetic diversity of the cultured bacteria that could not be obtained solely through 16S rRNA gene sequencing.
