Classification using a polyphasic approach suggested that strain YIM 121974T belonged to the genus Glycomyces and was closely related to Glycomyces dulcitolivorans SJ-25T (98.3 %), Glycomyces scopariae YIM 56256T (98 %), Glycomyces mayteni YIM 61331T (97.9 %), Glycomyces albidus NEAU-7082T (97.9 %), Glycomyces sambucus CGMCC 4.3147T (97.7 %), Glycomyces artemisiae IXS4T (97.6 %) and Glycomyces parisis CPCC 204357T (97.5 %), but could be distinguished from its closest relatives by a combination of phenotypic and phylogenetic features. Average nucleotide identity values of YIM 121974T to its closest phylogenetic neighbours were 70.7–88.9 %, which are lower than the threshold of 95 %. The digital DNA–DNA hybridization values between YIM 121974T and these relative species were 18.0–36.3 %, which are also well below the cut-off value (>70 %) for species delineation. The DNA G+C content of strain YIM 121974T was 72.3 mol% (draft genome sequence). The predominant menaquinone was MK-11. The phospholipids were composed of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol mannoside, phosphoglycolipid and glycolipid. The major fatty acid compositions were iso-C16 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0. The draft genome of isolate YIM 121974T was found to contain 11 secondary metabolite biosynthesis gene clusters by using the antiSMASH server. Based on the above observations, strain YIM 121974T could be distinguished from closely related species belonging to the genus Glycomyces . Thus, strain YIM 121974T represents a novel species of the genus Glycomyces , for which the name Glycomyces terrestris sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YIM 121974T (=KCTC 39870T=DSM 106742T).", }
