Micromonospora andamanensis is a Gram-positive bacterium from the genus Micromonospora. The type strain was isolated from a marine sponge of the genus Xestospongia collected near Phuket, Thailand.[1][3][4]
Taxonomy
Micromonospora andamanensis was originally described as Verrucosispora andamanensis in 2013[5][6], then transferred to the genus Micromonospora by Nouioui et al. in 2018. The specific epithet ''andamanensis'' refers to the Andaman Sea the source of the type strain.[5]
Isolation and characteristics
In 2009 DSMZ lists the type strain, SP03-05, as being isolated from a marine sponge, Xestospongia sp., collected from Andaman Sea near Phuket, Thailand and records the 16S rRNA gene accession number as JX524154.[7] The type strain is deposited as BCC 45620, DSM 46721 and NBRC 109075. DSMZ reports a DNA G+C content of 72.4 mol%.[7][6]
BacDive described the type strain as aerobic, spore-forming and Gram-positive, with recorded growth at 20-40°C and optimum growth at 30°C, pH 6-12 optimum pH 8 & NaCl growth 0-4%, optimum 3%.[8]
A whole genome shotgun sequencing project for strain NBRC 109075 was registered in 2021 under the accession number BOOZ00000000.[9]
DSMZ lists the strain as risk group 1 under the German TRBA classification.[7]
