Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the three strains clustered together and their closest relative was Streptomyces ferralitis CGMCC 4.1985T (98.9–99.0 % similarity). Multilocus sequence analysis confirmed their relationship to S. ferralitis and separated these strains as representing a novel species. Mean DNA–DNA hybridization values among strains FXJ1.526, FXJ1.725T and FXJ1.726 were 81.6 ± 3.5–87.2 ± 3.8 %, and the values between the three strains and S. ferralitis CGMCC 4.1985T were well below 70 %. The three strains also shared several phenotypic characteristics that were distinct from the closely related species. They grew at 21–50 °C, at pH 4.0–9.0 (with an optimal pH of 5.0) and with 0–3 % (w/v) NaCl, and the major cellular fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0. On the basis of data from this polyphasic taxonomic study, it is proposed that strains FXJ1.526, FXJ1.725T and FXJ1.726 be classified as representatives of a novel species of the genus Streptomyces, with the name Streptomyces rubrisoli sp. nov. The type strain is FXJ1.725T ( = CGMCC 4.7025T = DSM 42083T). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.000383
