The organisms had chemical and morphological properties typical of members of the genus Amycolatopsis and formed distinct phyletic lines in the Amycolatopsis methanolica 16S rRNA subclade. The two organisms were distinguished from one another and from the type strains of related species of the genus Amycolatopsis using a range of phenotypic properties. Based on the combined genotypic and phenotypic data, it is proposed that the two isolates be classified in the genus Amycolatopsis as Amycolatopsis thermophila sp. nov. (type strain GY088T = NCIMB 14699T = NRRL B-24836T) and Amycolatopsis viridis sp. nov. (type strain GY115T = NCIMB 14700T = NRRL B-24837T)., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.029256-0
