Agromyces laixinhei sp. nov. isolated from bat feces in China.

ABSTRACT: Three rod-shaped, Gram-stain-positive, and catalase-positive, phenotypically closely related isolates (HY052^T, HY050, and HY045) were obtained from fecal samples collected from bats in Guangxi province and Chongqing city of China. Circular, smooth, light-yellow colonies appeared on brain heart infusion plate after 24-48 h incubation at 28°C. The optimal pH for growth was between 6.0 and 7.5. Based on 16S rRNA, the three isolates were phylogenetically related to Agromyces terreus DS-10^T, Agromyces aureus AR33^T, Agromyces salentinus 20-5^T, Agromyces allii UMS-62^T, Agromyces lapidis CD55^T, and Agromyces italicus CD1^T. Moreover, based on 296 core genes, the phylogenomic tree indicated that the three isolates clustered
