The organism grew optimally at 30–37 °C. The G+C content of its DNA was 65.8 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain DCY26T was related most closely to species of the genus Curtobacterium, in the family Microbacteriaceae. Strain DCY26T showed highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Curtobacterium pusillum DSM 20527T (96.3 %), Curtobacterium luteum DSM 20542T (96.2 %), Curtobacterium flaccumfaciens LMG 3645T (96.2 %), Curtobacterium citreum DSM 20528T (96.1 %), Curtobacterium albidum DSM 20512T (96.1 %) and Curtobacterium herbarum DSM 14013T (95.3 %). The predominant menaquinone of strain DCY26T was MK-9. Other chemotaxonomic data also supported the affiliation of strain DCY26T to the genus Curtobacterium. On the basis of its phenotypic properties and phylogenetic distinctiveness, strain DCY26T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Curtobacterium, for which the name Curtobacterium ginsengisoli sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is DCY26T (=KCTC 13163T =JCM 14773T).", }
