The organism had phenotypic and morphological properties consistent with it being a member of the genus Streptomyces . Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that strain JL-22T was closely related to Streptomyces prunicolor NRRL B-12281T (99.2 %), Streptomyces galilaeus JCM 4757T (99.0 %) and Streptomyces chartreusis NBRC 12753T (99.0 %). However, the results of DNA–DNA hybridization and physiological and biochemical tests showed that strain JL-22T could be differentiated from its closest phylogenetic relatives both genotypically and phenotypically. Based on phenotypic and genotypic data, strain JL-22T represents a novel species of the genus Streptomyces , for which the name Streptomyces graminifolii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is JL-22T ( = KACC 17180T = NBRC 109806T). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.056895-0
