A polyphasic study was carried out to establish the taxonomic position of the two strains. Morphological and chemotaxonomic characteristics of the isolates coincided with the genus Glycomyces . Sequences analysis of the 16S rRNA gene also showed that the organisms belong to the genus Glycomyces and Glycomyces algeriensis is the highest sequence match for both strains. Furthermore, a combination of DNA–DNA hybridization results and some differential physiological and biochemical properties indicated that they were distinguishable from the phylogenetically closest relatives. Therefore, the two strains represent a novel species, for which the name Glycomyces rhizosphaerae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NEAU-C11T (=CGMCC 4.7396T=DSM 104646T). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijsem.0.002488
