 note = {A novel alkaliphilic actinomycetes strain TOA-1 producing PrpSc-degrading keratinase was isolated from the surface of bathroom tile joints. The strain produced substrates and aerial mycelis. Growth occurred at a pH range of 7.0 - 12.0, with an optimal pH at 10.0. TOA-1 contained meso-diaminopimelic acid, no diagnostic sugars, iso-, anteiso-, 10-methyl-branched fatty acids with 16-18 carbon atoms. Various organic substrates were used for growth, and various alkaline enzymes were produced. All these characteristics and analysis of 16S rDNA indicated that the strain belonged to the genus Nocardiopsis, but genetically differed from the other Nocardiopsis species.},
