Abstract
Chemotaxonomic and 16S rDNA sequence analyses of an isolate from the sputa and bronchial secretions of a patient with chronic lung disease clearly dem onstrated that it belongs to the genus Nocardia, DNA-DNA hybridization data , as well as the biochemical characteristics of the isolate, indicate that it belongs to a new species that differs from previously described members of the genus Nocardia, The name Nocardia paucivorans sp, nov, is proposed f or this isolate and is represented by strain IMMIB D-1632(T) (= DSM 44386(T )).
