Abstract
SUMMARYStenomitos terricola FBCC‐A190 was collected from soils around the trees of Mt. Gwanggyo, located in Yeongtong‐gu, Suwon‐si, Gyeonggi‐do. S. terricola FBCC‐A190 is a thin and simple filament with a cell length that is longer than its width. It has a thin and firm sheath, exhibiting a blue‐green color. Species belonging to genus Stenomitos is semi‐cryptic species with slight morphological differences from each other. They were confirmed as Stenomitos species by analysis using 16S rRNA and 16S–23S ITS. A monophyletic cluster was formed with the previously reported genus Stenomitos, with 16S rRNA gene sequences sharing similarities of 95.9–97.9% except for S. pantisii TAU‐MAC 4318. In addition, 16S–23S ITS gene sequencing showed tRNAAla, tRNAIle and V2, similar to the previously reported genus Stenomitos. From these results, Stenomitos terricola sp. nov. was proposed as a new species belonging to genus Stenomitos.
