Thirty-five of these strains belong to a previously undescribed species containing a novel type of nocardomycolic acid whose a branch is mono-unsaturated. The name proposed for this new species is Nocardia amarae. The type strain is IMRU W3960 (= ATCC 27808)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/00207713-24-2-278
