Cells of strain RS-50T were oxidase-negative, catalase-positive, short rods and motile by means of a polar flagellum; the colonies were orange, circular, smooth and convex. meso-Diaminopimelic acid and glucose were the diagnostic diamino acid in the cell wall and the whole-cell sugar, respectively. The major menaquinone was MK-9(H4). The polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol mannoside, two unknown phospholipids and an unknown lipid. The major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0. The DNA G+C content was 73.6 mol%. In 16S rRNA gene sequence-based phylogenetic trees, strain RS-50T formed a tight cluster with Angustibacter luteus (99.2 % sequence similarity); both were loosely related to the suborders Kineosporiineae and Micrococcineae . The DNA–DNA relatedness value of the isolate to A. luteus KACC 14249T was 22.3±0.9 %. On the basis of the results of phenotypic analyses and DNA–DNA hybridization experiments, strain RS-50T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Angustibacter , for which the name Angustibacter peucedani sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is RS-50T ( = KCTC 19628T = DSM 45329T). The description of the genus Angustibacter is emended. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.042275-0
