A novel actinomycete strain, designated 12-833(T), was isolated from a crude oil-contaminated site north of Kuwait. The isolated strain showed the ability to degrade crude oil and various hydrocarbons. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain 12-833(T) belonged to the genus Prauserella and was closely related to Prauserella muralis 05-Be-005(T) (98.3% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), Prauserella marina MS498(T) (96.9%) and Prauserella rugosa DSM 43194(T) (96.7%). The DNA G+C content of strain 12-833(T) was 71.1 mol%. Phenotypic, physiological, biochemical and chemotaxonomic characteristics and phylogenetic analysis indicated that strain 12-833(T) represents a novel species of the genus Prauserella, for which the name Prauserella soli sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 12-833(T) ( = DSM 45819(T) = LMG 28346(T)).
