The strain possesses wall chemotype IV, MK-9(H2) as the predominant menaquinone, relatively long-chain mycolic acids (56-64 carbon atoms) and straight-chain saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids with a small amount of tuberculostearic acid. The G+C content of the DNA is 66.8 mol%. Similarity values for genes encoding 16S rRNA indicated that strain 141Trepresents a new species within the genus Gordonia for which the name Gordonia rhizosphera sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of G. rhizosphera is 141T(= IFO 16068T). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/00207713-48-3-907
