The isolates had chemical and morphological properties typical of streptomycetes and formed a distinct 16S rRNA gene subclade together with the type strain Streptomyces drozdowiczii NRRL B-24297T. DNA–DNA relatedness studies showed that the three strains belonged to different genomic species. The organisms were also distinguished using a combination of phenotypic properties. On the basis of these data it is proposed that the isolates be assigned to the genus Streptomyces as Streptomyces brevispora sp. nov. and Streptomyces laculatispora sp. nov., with BK160T ( = KACC 21093T  = NCIMB 14702T) and BK166T ( = KACC 20907T  = NCIMB 14703T) as the respective type strains. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.029991-0
