Halopolyspora alba AFM10251T was proposed to represent a novel species of a new genus belonging to the family Actinopolysporaceae in a previous study. The family Mzabimycetaceae , containing one genus, Mzabimyces , was proposed subsequently and Mzabimyces algeriensis H195T was the type strain. However, analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity showed that the two strains were highly similar (99.2 %). Phenotypic and chemotaxonomic data, as well as DNA–DNA hybridization confirmed that the two strains are different genomic species of the same genus, Halopolyspora . Mzabimyces algeriensis should be classified in the genus Halopolyspora as Halopolyspora algeriensis comb. nov. The type strain of Halopolyspora algeriensis is H195T (=DSM 46680T=CECT 8575T).
