Strain KZ0017T formed spore chains borne on top of short sporophores arising from vegetative hyphae. Spores were non-motile and cylindrical with smooth surfaces. Strain KZ0017T contained meso-diaminopimelic (A2pm) acid, 3-OH A2pm, d-glutamic acid, glycine and l-alanine in the cell-wall peptidoglycan, and xylose, mannose, galactose, rhamnose and ribose in cell-wall hydrolysates. The acyl type of the cell-wall polysaccharides was glycolyl. The predominant menaquinones were MK-10(H4) and MK-10(H6); MK-10(H8) was a minor component. The polar lipids contained diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, hydroxyphosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol and several unknown lipids and glycolipids. The major fatty acids were iso-C16 : 0, 10-methyl-C17 : 0 and iso-C17 : 1ω9c. The DNA G+C content was 70.7 mol%. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of the isolate formed a monophyletic cluster with the single member of the genus Longispora in the family Micromonosporaceae. On the basis of morphological, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic properties, strain KZ0017T represents a novel species of the genus Longispora, for which the name Longispora fulva sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is KZ0017T ( = NBRC 105670T = DSM 45356T). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.023531-0
