A novel actinomycete, designated strain FXJ1.034T, was isolated from acidic soil collected in Jiangxi Province, South-east China. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain FXJ1.034T belonged to the genus Lentzea and showed high sequence similarities to Lentzea kentuckyensis NRRL B-24416T (98.5 %) and Lentzea albida NBRC 16102T (98.3 %). Morphological and chemotaxonomic characteristics supported its assignment to the genus Lentzea . The results of DNA–DNA hybridization, physiological and biochemical tests allowed genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of the novel strain from closely related species. Based on the evidence presented here, strain FXJ1.034T represents a novel species of the genus Lentzea , for which the name Lentzea jiangxiensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is FXJ1.034T ( = CGMCC 4.6609T = NBRC 106680T).
