The isolate formed irregular sporangia containing motile sporangiospores on the substrate mycelium. The whole-cell sugars were xylose, glucose and galactose. The predominant menaquinones were MK-9(H6), MK-10(H4) and MK-9(H4). The major fatty acids were C16 : 0, C15 : 0, C18 : 1ω9c, C17 : 1ω7c and C18 : 0. The phospholipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylinositol. The DNA G+C content was 67 mol%. 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity studies showed that strain NEAU-GRX6T belonged to the genus Actinoplanes , being most closely related to Actinoplanes palleronii IFO 14916T (97.80 % similarity) and Actinoplanes missouriensis NBRC 102363T (97.76 %). However, the low observed levels of DNA–DNA relatedness allowed the isolate to be differentiated from the above-mentioned species of the genus Actinoplanes . Moreover, strain NEAU-GRX6T could also be distinguished from A. palleronii IFO 14916T and A. missouriensis NBRC 102363T by phenotypic characteristics. Therefore, it is proposed that strain NEAU-GRX6T represents a novel species of the genus Actinoplanes , for which the name Actinoplanes lutulentus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is strain NEAU-GRX6T ( = CGMCC 4.7090T = DSM 45883T). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.057802-0
