We recently reported the cultivation and phylogenetic characterization of a new group of obligate marine actinomycete bacteria that is widely distributed in ocean sediments.[1] Analogous soil-derived actinomycetes have been the single most significant source of naturally occurring microbial antibiotics,[2] thus the discovery of a major new group of these bacteria in marine sediments suggests that the ocean represents an overlooked habitat from which to isolate these important microorganisms. Given that the rate of discovery of new biologically active compounds from common soil actinomycetes has been falling,[3] obligate marine actinomycetes represent a new resource for structurally diverse secondary metabolites.To date, we have isolated in excess of 2500strains belonging to this new taxon for which we have proposed the genus name™ Salinospora∫(a formal taxonomic description is in progress).™ Salinospora∫ strains, with previously undescribed 16S rRNA gene sequences, have been recovered from five distinct tropical/subtropical ocean systems [1] and from depths as great as À1100m, which indicates that they represent a widely distributed and taxonomically diverse group of sediment bacteria. All isolates display an obligate requirement of ionic sodium for growth, thus indicating a high level of marine adaptation.
