ABSTRACT: Strain BKK2 was highly similar to Actinopolyspora saharensis (A. saharensis) DSM 45459T based on
phenotypic characteristics, chemotaxonomic properties, and genotypic features. It had NaCl ranges of 10?30% (w/v),
light-yellow diffusion pigment, Type IV cell wall, Type A whole-cell sugar pattern, Type PIII phospholipid pattern,
and no mycolic acid. Moreover, the genotypic features of the strain BKK2 were 98.56% average nucleotide identityBlast (ANIb), 99.03% average nucleotide identity-MUMmer (ANIm), and 90.90% digital DNA-DNA hybridization
(dDDH). It was, therefore, identified as A. saharensis. Gene clusters of biosynthetic pathways of this strain are
predicted to synthesize desferrioxamine E by complete biosynthesis genes (IucA/IucC and DesABC). A. saharensis BKK2
displayed antibacterial activity against E. coli ATCC 25922 and S. aureus ATCC 25923 at 1.5?2.0 folds weaker than the
reference drugs. The results suggested that A. saharensis BKK2 produced at least one bioactive compound likely to be
therapeutically useful in the future.
