They produced open loops of warty spore chains on aerial mycelia. ll-Diaminopimelic acid, glucose and ribose were found in their whole-cell hydrolysates. Polar lipids found were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, lysophosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylinositol mannoside. Menaquinones were MK-9(H6), MK-9(H8), MK-10(H6) and MK-10(H8). Major cellular fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C17 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0. The taxonomic position of the strains was described using a polyphasic approach. blastn analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that these five strains exhibited the highest similarities with ‘ Streptomyces mangrovicola ' GY1 (99.0 %), Streptomyces fenghuangensis GIMN4.003T (98.6 %), Streptomyces barkulensis RC 1831T (98.5 %) and Streptomyces radiopugnans R97T (98.3 %). However, their phenotypic characteristics and 16S rRNA gene sequences as well as DNA–DNA relatedness differentiated these five strains from the other species of the genus Streptomyces . Here, we propose the novel actinomycetes all being representatives of the same novel species, Streptomyces verrucosisporus , with type strain CPB1-1T (=JCM 18519T=PCU 343T=TISTR 2344T). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijsem.0.001240
