The morphological and chemotaxonomic characteristics of the strain coincided with those of members of the genus Microbispora . The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that the isolate was most closely related to Microbispora bryophytorum NEAU-TX2-2T (98.6 %), Microbispora hainanensis DSM 45428T (98.5 %), Microbispora camponoti 2C-HV3T (98.5 %), Microbispora amethystogenes JCM 3021T (98.2 %), Microbispora siamensis NBRC 104113T (98.1 %), Microbispora corallina JCM 10267T (98.0 %) and Microbispora rosea subsp. rosea JCM 3006T (97.9 %). However, two tree-making algorithms supported the position that strain NEAU-HRDPA2-9T formed a distinct clade with M. siamensis NBRC 104113T and M. hainanensis DSM 45428T. Furthermore, a combination of DNA–DNA hybridization results and some physiological and biochemical properties demonstrated that the strain could be distinguished from its closest relatives. Therefore, it is proposed that strain NEAU-HRDPA2-9T should be classified as representative of a novel species of the genus Microbispora , for which the name Microbispora triticiradicis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NEAU-HRDPA2-9T (=CGMCC 4.7399T=DSM 104649T). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijsem.0.003040
