The isolate contained glutamic acid, glycine, alanine, 3-hydroxy-diaminopimelic acid and meso-diaminopimelic acid in the cell-wall peptidoglycan. The whole-cell sugars were glucose, mannose, rhamnose and xylose, and the major phospholipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylethanolamine. The predominant menaquinones were MK-10(H8) and MK-9(H8) and the predominant cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 72.3 mol%. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain PS7-2T clustered with members of the genus Asanoa and appeared most closely related to the type strains of Asanoa hainanensis (99.5 % sequence similarity), Asanoa iriomotensis (99.0 %), Asanoa ishikariensis (98.9 %) and Asanoa ferruginea (98.5 %). DNA–DNA hybridizations and some physiological and biochemical properties indicated that strain PS7-2T could be readily distinguished from its closest phylogenetic relatives. Based on the phenotypic and genotypic evidence and DNA–DNA relatedness values, strain PS7-2T represents a novel species in the genus Asanoa , for which the name Asanoa siamensis sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is PS7-2T ( = BCC 41921T = NBRC 107932T). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.038851-0
