<i>Nocardioides agri</i> sp. nov., isolated from garden soil.

ABSTRACT: A novel bacterial strain, designated as MAH-18^T, was isolated from soil sampled in a flower garden. Cells of strain MAH-18^T were Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, motile, and rod-shaped. The colonies were beige in colour, smooth, and spherical when grown on Reasoner's 2A agar medium. Strain MAH-18^T grew at 20-40 °C, pH 6.0-8.0, and 0-1.0 % NaCl. Cells were able to hydrolyse aesculin, gelatin, and Tween 20. According to the 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons, the isolate was determined to be a member of the genus Nocardioides and most closely related to Nocardioides pyridinolyticus OS4^T (97.9 %), Nocardioides hankookensis DS-30^T (97.9 %), Nocardioides aquiterrae GW-9^T (97.6 %), Nocardioides soli
