Strains 5-10-10T and 5-38-42T were Gram-positive, aerobic, non-motile actinomycetes that form branched substrate and aerial mycelium. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity studies, the novel strains were shown to belong to the genus Nonomuraea, being most closely related to Nonomuraea fastidiosa. Chemotaxonomic data supported the assignment of the novel strains as members of the genus Nonomuraea. Strain 5-10-10T contained MK-9(H4) and strain 5-38-42T contained MK-9(H6) and MK-9(H4) as the major menaquinones. Major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine and hydroxyphosphatidylethanolamine. The major cellular fatty acid for strain 5-10-10T was iso-C16 : 0 (26.4 %); C16 : 0 (17.4 %) was the major cellular fatty acid for strain 5-38-42T. The results of DNA–DNA hybridization and physiological tests enabled strains 5-10-10T and 5-38-42T to be differentiated genotypically and phenotypically from each other and from the closely related species, N. fastidiosa. On the basis of these results, strains 5-10-10T and 5-38-42T represent two novel species of the genus Nonomuraea. Following an evaluation of morphological, physiological and chemotaxonomic characteristics, 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons and DNA–DNA hybridization experiments, the new isolates are proposed as two novel species, Nonomuraea bangladeshensis sp. nov. [type strain, 5-10-10T (=MTCC 8089T=JCM 13930T)] and Nonomuraea coxensis sp. nov. [type strain, 5-38-42T (=MTCC 8090T=JCM 13931T)]. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.65054-0
