Phylogenetic analysis using 16S rRNA gene sequences also indicated that this strain should be classified in the genus Dactylosporangium and showed that the closest relative was Dactylosporangium aurantiacum IFO 12592T (99.3 % sequence similarity). DNA–DNA hybridization values and some physiological and biochemical properties indicated that this strain could be readily distinguished from its closest phylogenetic relatives. On the basis of these phenotypic and genotypic data, this strain represents a novel species, for which the name Dactylosporangium maewongense sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is MW2-25T (=BCC 34832T=JCM 15933T)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.016378-0
