Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene comparisons revealed that strain XMU 110T showed the highest similarity of 97.9 % to Nonomuraea jabiensis DSM 45507T, and indicated the closest relatives were Nonomuraea roseoviolacea subsp. roseoviolacea ATCC 27297T (97.8 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) and Nonomuraea salmonea DSM 43678T (97.4 %) after a neighbour-joining analysis. The phenotypic characteristics, as well as the DNA–DNA relatedness values between strain XMU 110T and N. roseoviolacea subsp . roseoviolacea ATCC 27297T (48.07±1.99 %) and N. salmonea DSM 43678T (40.55±8.30 %), distinguished the novel strain from its closest phylogenetic neighbours. The morphological, physiological and chemotaxonomic characteristics such as phospholipid type, diagnostic diamino acid of the peptidoglycan, whole-cell sugars, major menaquinones and major fatty acids further supported the assignment of strain XMU 110T to the genus Nonomuraea . The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 66.2 mol%. Based on the taxonomic data, strain XMU 110Trepresents a novel species of the genus Nonomuraea , for which the name Nonomuraea ceibae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is XMU 110T (=MCCC 1K03213T= KCTC 39826T). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijsem.0.001782
