JF International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, VO 55 IS 6 SP 2555 OP 2559 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.63799-0 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1466-5034, AB Three novel strains were isolated from a soil sample collected in Japan using GPM agar plates supplemented with superoxide dismutase and/or catalase. The strains were Gram-positive, catalase-positive, irregular rod-shaped bacteria with meso-diaminopimelic acid as a peptidoglycan diagnostic diamino acid, and the acyl type of the peptidoglycan was acetyl. The major menaquinone was MK-8(H4). Mycolic acids were not detected. The G+C content of the DNA was 72–73 mol%. On the basis of morphological and chemotaxonomic properties and a phylogenetic analysis using 16S rRNA gene sequences, these strains were classified as a novel genus and species, Oryzihumus leptocrescens gen. nov., sp. nov., in the family Intrasporangiaceae of the order Actinomycetales. The type strain is KV-628T (=NRRL B-24347T=JCM 12835T=NBRC 100762T)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.63799-0
