An actinomycete, strain Z33T, was isolated from a cyanobacterial biofilm in the Cave of Bats, near Zuheros (Cordoba, southern Spain). 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain Z33T formed a distinct phyletic line within the genus Agromyces. This isolate could be readily distinguished from representatives of all recognized Agromyces species on the basis of a broad range of phenotypic characteristics and DNA–DNA relatedness data. Genotypic and phenotypic properties indicate that strain Z33T represents a novel species, for which the name Agromyces subbeticus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is Z33T (=HKI 0340T=DSM 16689T=NCIMB 14025T).
