The strain contained meso-diaminopimelic acid in the cell-wall peptidoglycan. The main fatty acids identified were C17 : 0, iso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 and C16 : 0. The main menaquinone was MK-9 (H4). The polar lipids included phosphatidylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol mannoside, phosphatidylinositol, phospholipids and phospholipids of an unidentified structure containing glucosamine. The G+C content of genomic DNA was 69.43 mol%. On the basis of its 16S rRNA gene sequence, strain YIM PH21725T should belong to the genus Amycolatopsis , and was closely related to Amycolatopsis sulphurea DSM 46092T (98.57 %), Amycolatopsis jejuensis JCM13280T (97.27 %), Amycolatopsis jiangsuensis KCTC 19885T (96.88 %) and Amycolatopsis ultiminotia JCM 16989T (96.8 %). The phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, phylogenetic and digital DNA–DNA hybridization results clearly indicated that strain YIM PH21725T represents a novel species of the genus Amycolatopsis , for which the name Amycolatopsis panacis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YIM PH21725T (=CCTCC AA 2017044T=KCTC 49031T=DSM 105902T). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijsem.0.003202
