The organisms were found to have chemical and morphological markers typical of members of the genus Glycomyces. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that they were closely related to each other and to Glycomyces sambucus E71T. A battery of physiological characteristics and levels of DNA–DNA relatedness indicated that strains YIM 56256T and YIM 61331T represent two novel species, clearly different from the related known Glycomyces species. On the basis of the data presented, it is evident that each of these strains represents a novel species of the genus Glycomyces, for which the names Glycomyces scopariae sp. nov. (type strain YIM 56256T =KCTC 19158T =DSM 44968T) and Glycomyces mayteni sp. nov. (type strain YIM 61331T =KCTC 19527T =CCTCC AA 208004T) are proposed. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.2008/005942-0
