abstract= A novel actinomycete strain, designated YIM 75904T, was isolated from a soil sample that had been collected from a dry and hot river valley in Dongchuan county, Yunnan province, south-western China. The taxonomic position of the novel strain was investigated by a polyphasic approach. In phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, strain YIM 75904T formed a distinct clade within the genus Amycolatopsis and appeared to be closely related to Amycolatopsis sacchari K24T (99.3 % sequence similarity). Strain YIM 75904T had a type-IV cell wall, with no detectable mycolic acids, and had MK-9(H4) as its predominant menaquonine. Its cell wall contained meso-diaminopimelic acid, galactose, glucose and arabinose, and its major cellular fatty acids were iso-C16 : 0, iso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C17 : 0 and anteiso-C15 : 0. The genomic DNA G+C content of the novel strain was 68.5 mol%. Based on the results of physiological and biochemical tests and DNA–DNA hybridizations, strain YIM 75904T represents a novel species of the genus Amycolatopsis for which the name Amycolatopsis dongchuanensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YIM 75904T ( = CCTCC AA 2011016T  = JCM 18054T).,
