This species is represented by a single isolate from a soil sample obtained in Kunming, Peoples Republic of China. This strain (strain ATCC 35682T[T = type strain]) has the following morphological and chemical properties typical of the genus Chainia: formation of lipid-filled conidia and sclerotia, type I cell wall composition, lack of mycolic acids, type PII phospholipid composition, and deoxyribonucleic acid guanine-plus-cytosine content of 71.3 mol%. Strain ATCC 35682Tdiffers physiologically from all previously described species and thus is considered a new species. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/00207713-35-2-164
