Two actinomycete strains, NEAU-C11T and NEAU-C8, isolated from rhizosphere soil and wheat root, respectively, collected from Langfang, Hebei Province, China. A polyphasic study was carried out to establish the taxonomic position of the two strains. Morphological and chemotaxonomic characteristics of the isolates coincided with the genus Glycomyces . Sequences analysis of the 16S rRNA gene also showed that the organisms belong to the genus Glycomyces and Glycomyces algeriensis is the highest sequence match for both strains. Furthermore, a combination of DNA–DNA hybridization results and some differential physiological and biochemical properties indicated that they were distinguishable from the phylogenetically closest relatives. Therefore, the two strains represent a novel species, for which the name Glycomyces rhizosphaerae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NEAU-C11T (=CGMCC 4.7396T=DSM 104646T).
