Glycomyces endophyticus sp. nov., an endophytic actinomycete isolated from the root of Carex baccans Nees Qin, Sheng and Wang, Hai-Bin and Chen, Hua-Hong and Zhang, Yu-Qin and Jiang, Cheng-Lin and Xu, Li-Hua and Li, Wen-Jun,, 58, 2525-2528 (2008), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/ijs.0.2008/000398-0, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= An actinomycete, designated strain YIM 56134T, was isolated from the root of a Chinese medicinal plant, Carex baccans Nees, collected from Yunnan, south-west China, and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. An analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities showed that strain YIM 56134T was a member of the genus Glycomyces, being most closely related to Glycomyces algeriensis NRRL B-16327T (99.0 % similarity), Glycomyces lechevalierae DSM 44724T (99.0 %), Glycomyces rutgersensis IFO 14488T (98.9 %) and Glycomyces harbinensis IFO 14487T (98.7 %). Strain YIM 56134T could be distinguished from other established Glycomyces species on the basis of relatively low sequence similarity (<97 %). Phenotypic and chemotaxonomic data supported the affiliation of this strain to the genus Glycomyces. The results of DNA–DNA hybridization and some physiological and biochemical tests allowed differentiation of the strain from related Glycomyces species. Therefore, strain YIM 56134T represents a novel species of the genus Glycomyces, for which the name Glycomyces endophyticus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YIM 56134T (=KCTC 19152T =DSM 45002T)., language=, type=
