ABSTRACT
The generic position of a gram-positive, facultatively methylotrophic actinomycete known as Nocardia sp. strain 239 was determined by comparing reverse transcriptase sequences of 16S rRNA. The assignment of the organism to the genus Amycolatopsis was strongly supported by chemotaxonomic and morphological data. A comparison with the type strains of validly described Amycolatopsis species showed that the organism formed the nucleus of a new species. The name proposed for this new species is Amycolatopsis methanolica. The organism has been deposited in the National Collection of Industrial Bacteria as NCIB 11946.
