A Gram-positive, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacterium (strain K362ᵀ) was isolated from a
deep-water marine sponge collected off the coast of Curacao in the Netherlands Antilles. On the
basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities, strain K362ᵀ was shown to belong to the genus
Tsukamurella, being most closely related to Tsukamurella pulmonis (99.2 %), Tsukamurella
tyrosinosolvens (98.9 %), Tsukamurella strandjordii (98.8 %), Tsukamurella pseudospumae
(98.8 %) and Tsukamurella spumae (98.8 %). A combination of the substrate utilization patterns,
the fatty acid and mycolic acid profiles and the DNA–DNA hybridization results supported the
affiliation of strain K362ᵀ to the genus Tsukamurella and enabled the genotypic and phenotypic
differentiation of strain K362ᵀ from the seven recognized Tsukamurella species. Strain K362ᵀ
therefore represents a novel species of the genus Tsukamurella, for which the name Tsukamurella
spongiae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is K362ᵀ (=DSM 44990ᵀ = NRRL B-24467ᵀ).
