Strain RHZ10T was isolated from an oak rhizosphere sampled in Reims, France, and characterized to assess its taxonomy. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, strain RHZ10T was affiliated to the genus Streptomyces and the closest species were Streptomyces anulatus NRRL B-2000T and Streptomyces pratensis ch24T. Average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values were 77.3-92.4 % and 23.0-50.9 %, respectively, when compared to the type strains of fully sequenced related species having a 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity over 98 %. These data suggested that strain RHZ10T represented a novel species within the genus Streptomyces. The genome of RHZ10T was 8.0 Mbp long, had 7 894 predicted coding genes, and a G+C content of 71.7 mol%. Cultures of RHZ10T on ISP 2 medium mostly led to the production a green pigmentation of the core of its colonies in the vegetative mycelium, surrounded by white pigmentation of the aerial mycelium. The main fatty acids of RHZ10T were anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0, anteiso-C17 : 0 and C16 : 0. Polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol, unidentified lipids, unidentified phospholipids, unidentified aminolipids and unidentified glycolipids. Its main quinones were MK-9(H6) (69.3 %), MK-9(H4) (17.3 %) and MK-9(H8) (17.0%). Phylogenetic, physiological and chemotaxonomic studies clearly supported that strain RHZ10T represents a novel species within the genus Streptomyces, for which the name Streptomyces durocortorensis sp. nov. is proposed and the type strain is RHZ10T (=DSM 112634T=LMG 32187T=CIP 111907T).
