The peptidoglycan type was A1γ and the major whole-cell sugars contained glucose and xylose. The phospholipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol mannosides and some unknown phospholipids. The predominant menaquinone was MK-9(H4). The major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0. The genomic DNA G+C content was 69.3 mol%. blast search results based on an almost-complete 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that strain YIM 013T had the highest similarity with Verrucosispora gifhornensis DSM 44337T (98 %) and phylogenetic analysis revealed that strain YIM 013T should be assigned to the genus Verrucosispora. The mean level of DNA–DNA relatedness between strain YIM 013T and V. gifhornensis DSM 44337T was 38.2 %. Based on its phenotypic and genotypic characteristics, strain YIM 013T (=CCTCC AA207012T =KCTC 19195T) is proposed to be the type strain of a novel species, Verrucosispora lutea sp. nov. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.008813-0
