On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence comparative analyses, strain Y2T was shown to belong to the genus Tsukamurella and was most closely related to Tsukamurella tyrosinosolvens DSM 44234T (GenBank accession no. AY238514; 99.8 %). The predominant fatty acids were C18 : 1 ω9c and C16 : 0. The cell-wall peptidoglycan of strain Y2T contained meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid. Strain Y2T contained galactose and arabinose as the whole cell sugars. The DNA G+C content was 77 mol%. The DNA–DNA relatedness value between strain Y2T and T. tyrosinosolvens DSM 44234T was 62.7 %. Based on the combination of the carbon source utilization pattern, fatty acid profile, cell-wall chemotype, DNA G+C content and DNA–DNA hybridization experiments, it is proposed that strain Y2T (=KCCM 42885T=JCM 15482T) represents the type strain of a novel species, Tsukamurella carboxydivorans sp. nov., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.005959-0
