A polyphasic study was undertaken to identify the new isolate. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain WA201T showed closest similarity to the type strains of Micromonospora carbonacea (98·5 %) and Micromonospora matsumotoense (98·1 %). The chemotaxonomic results confirmed the taxonomic position of the isolate in the genus Micromonospora. DNA–DNA relatedness values supported the classification of this isolate as a novel species. A number of physiological and biochemical tests were able to distinguish strain WA201T from its closest phylogenetic neighbours. Therefore, it is proposed that isolate WA201T (=DSM 44830T=LMG 22229T) be considered the type strain representing a novel species, Micromonospora mirobrigensis sp. nov.", }
