A novel Kitasatospora strain, designated as HNM1077T, was isolated from rhizosphere soil of Hibiscus tiliaceus collected from the bank of the Beilun River in Dongxing City, Guangxi Province, China. The novel strain exhibited antimicrobial activity against a wide range of microbes, particularly Gram-negative bacteria and plant pathogenic fungi. Based on the alignment of 16S rRNA gene sequences, strain HNM1077T was closely related to Kitasatospora aburaviensis NRRL B-2218T (99.51%). Comparisons based on genome sequencing showed that strain HNM1077T was distinguished from its nearest species by average nucleotide identity of 94.36% and a digital DNA–DNA hybridization value of 54.3%. The G+C content of strain HNM1077T was 73.1 mol%. The main fatty acids of strain HNM1077T were iso-C15:0 (21.5%), anteiso-C15:0 (11.7%), iso-C16:0 (8.6%), iso-C17:0 (9.3%) and anteiso-C17:0 (8.7%). The predominant menaquinone was MK-9 (H8). The major polar lipids of strain HNM1077T consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, diphosphatidylglycerol and glycosylphosphatidylinositol. Based on these polyphasic taxonomic results, strain HNM1077T represents a novel Kitasatospora species, for which the name Kitasatospora hibisci sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is HNM1077T (=CCTCC AA 2024052T=KCTC 59330T).
