The isolate belonged to the genus Streptomyces and had white to grey aerial mycelium and long chains of smooth spores in the aerial mycelium. A phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain 219820T had highest similarity to members of the genus Streptomyces and was most closely, albeit loosely, associated with Streptomyces crystallinus NBRC 15401T (98.624 % similarity), Streptomyces melanogenes NBRC 12890T (98.565 %) and Streptomyces noboritoensis NBRC 13065T (98.564 %). However, DNA–DNA relatedness and phenotypic data readily distinguished strain 219820T from these phylogenetically related type strains. It is evident from the combination of genotypic and phenotypic data that strain 219820T represents a novel species of the genus Streptomyces, for which the name Streptomyces sanyensis sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is 219820T ( = CGMCC 4.5626T  = DSM 42014T). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.023515-0
