https://www.selleckchem.com/products/tak-875.html The present study was carried out to clarify the taxonomic assignment of two closely related Amycolatopsis species. Genomic information for 48 type strains was available at the time of conducting this analysis. Our analysis showed that two species, viz. Amycolatopsis eurytherma Kim et al. 2002 and Amycolatopsis thermoflava Chun et al. 1999, are conspecific. The 16S rRNA gene sequences of the two species possess 98.85 % sequence similarity. Further, whole-genome comparisons showed that A. eurytherma DSM 44348T and A. thermoflava N1165T shared 98.75 % average nucleotide identity, 98.63 % average amino acid identity and 87.8 % digital DNA-DNA hybridization values. These values exceed the threshold values for bacterial species delineation, indicating that they belong to the same species. Further, the phylogenomic analysis based on the core genome of the strains under study confirmed that A. eurytherma DSM 44348T and A. thermoflava N1165T formed a monophyletic clade. Based on this evidence we propose the reclassification of Amycolatopsis eurytherma Kim et al. 2002 as a later heterotypic synonym of Amycolatopsis thermoflava Chun et al. 1999.An aerobic, rod-shaped, Gram-stain-positive, actinobacterial strain, designated 1.0914T, was isolated from a stalactite sample collected from a cave located in Guizhou Province, southwest PR China. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain 1.0914T shared highest similarities values with Nocardioides pelophilus CGMCC 4.7388T (97.7 %), Nocardioides immobilis CCTCC AB 2017083T (97.5 %) and Nocardioides silvaticus CCTCC AB 2018079T (97.3 %) and values lower than 97.0 % to other members of the genus Nocardioides. Phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain 1.0914T formed an isolated branch with N. pelophilus CGMCC 4.7388T, N. immobilis CCTCC AB 2017083T and N. silvaticus CCTCC AB 2018079T. The polar lipids contained phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylgly
