Applying a polyphasic approach, the isolate was identified as a member of the genus Catenulispora using morphological and chemotaxonomic characteristics, including the presence of ll-diaminopimelic acid, glutamic acid, alanine and glycine in the peptidoglycan. Whole-cell hydrolysates contained predominantly rhamnose, mannose, ribose, arabinose, galactose and glucose. The major menaquinones were MK-9(H4), MK-9(H6) and MK-9(H8). 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain SA-246T belongs to the genus Catenulispora, showing the highest sequence similarity to Catenulispora yoronensis TT N02-20T (98.7 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), Catenulispora subtropica TT 99-48T (98.2 %), Catenulispora graminis BR-34T (97.4 %), Catenulispora rubra Aac-30T (97.4 %) and Catenulispora acidiphila ID139908T (97.3 %). On the basis of polyphasic analysis from this study, strain SA-246T represents a novel species of the genus Catenulispora, for which the name Catenulispora fulva sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is SA-246T ( = KACC 17878T = NBRC 110074T). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijsem.0.000711
