(type strain, strain DSM 44048), was isolated from a salt marsh soil sample near Alicante, Spain. Whole-cell hydrolysates contain the meso isomer of diaminopimelic acid and no characteristic sugar; thus, the cell wall composition is type III. Menaquinone MK-10(H8) is the major menaquinone, and the phospholipid type is type PHI (phosphatidylcholine present). Spore chains are rectiflexibilis, and in the early stages of sporulation zig-zag-shaped aerial hyphae are observed. This microorganism produces compatible solutes of the ectoine type and is characterized by a yellowish to yellowish brown substrate mycelium and a white aerial mycelium. This organism exhibits only 40 to 50% DNA relatedness to other Nocardiopsis spp. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/00207713-43-2-266
