Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rDNA sequences revealed 99·0 % similarity to Cellulomonas humilata. Chemotaxonomic data that were determined for this isolate included cell-wall composition, fatty acid profiles and polar lipids; the results supported the placement of strain XIL11T in the genus Cellulomonas. The DNA G+C content was 73 mol%. The results of DNA–DNA hybridization with C. humilata ATCC 25174T, in combination with chemotaxonomic and physiological data, demonstrated that isolate XIL11T should be classified as a novel Cellulomonas species. The name Cellulomonas xylanilytica sp. nov. is proposed, with strain XIL11T (=LMG 21723T=CECT 5729T) as the type strain., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.02866-0
