The morphological and chemotaxonomic properties of the isolate were typical of members of the genus Rhodococcus. Strain djl-6-2T formed a coherent cluster with Rhodococcus qingshengii djl-6T, Rhodococcus baikonurensis DSM 44587T, Rhodococcus erythropolis DSM 43066T and Rhodococcus globerulus DSM 43954T in 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. The results of DNA–DNA hybridization with the above strains (27.7, 19.3, 18.6 and 10.6 % relatedness, respectively), in combination with differences in biochemical and physiological properties, suggest that strain djl-6-2T should be classified within a novel species of the genus Rhodococcus, for which the name Rhodococcus jialingiae sp. nov. is proposed, with djl-6-2T (=DSM 45257T =CCTCC AB 208292T) as the type strain., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.013219-0
