We investigated the taxonomic relationship between Streptomyces antimycoticus , Streptomyces castelarensis, Streptomyces sporoclivatus , and Streptomyces violaceusniger . Digital DNA–DNA hybridisation using whole genome sequences and multilocus sequence analysis indicated that S. antimycoticus, S. castelarensis, and S. sporoclivatus belong to the same genomospecies. Previously reported phenotypic data also supported this synonymy. Therefore, S. castelarensis and S. sporoclivatus should be reclassified as later heterotypic synonyms of S. antimycoticus . The type strain of S. antimycoticus is NBRC 12839 T (=ATCC 23880 T =CBS 660.68 T =RIA 1198 T =CGMCC 4.1591 T =DSM 40284 T =JCM 4228 T =JCM 4621 T =KCTC 9694 T =NRRL 2421 T =NRRL ISP-5284 T =VKM Ac-1824 T ). This study also revealed that genome sequence-published S. violaceusniger NRRL F-8817 should be reclassified into S. antimycoticus .
