Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence studies showed the isolate was clearly affiliated with the class Actinobacteria , and most closely related to Amnibacterium kyonggiense KEMC 51201-037T, showing 98.8 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity. Cells of strain PB243T formed yellow colonies on R2A agar, contained MK-11 and MK-12 as the predominant menaquinones, l-2,4-diaminobutyric acid as the diagnostic cell-wall diamino acid, and anteiso-C15 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0 among the major fatty acids. The acyl type of the muramic acid was acetyl. The G+C content of the genomic DNA of strain PB243T was 71.5 mol%. Thus, the combined genotypic and phenotypic data supported the conclusion that strain PB243T represents a novel species of the genus Amnibacterium , for which the name Amnibacterium soli sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is PB243T ( = KCTC 33147T = JCM 19015T)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.052506-0
