A Gram-positive, aerobic, non-motile bacterium was isolated from a decayed elm tree. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rDNA sequences revealed 99·0 % similarity to Cellulomonas humilata. Chemotaxonomic data that were determined for this isolate included cell-wall composition, fatty acid profiles and polar lipids; the results supported the placement of strain XIL11^T in the genus Cellulomonas. The DNA G+C content was 73 mol%. The results of DNA–DNA hybridization with C. humilata ATCC 25174^T, in combination with chemotaxonomic and physiological data, demonstrated that isolate XIL11^T should be classified as a novel Cellulomonas species. The name Cellulomonas xylanilytica sp. nov. is proposed, with strain XIL11^T (=LMG 21723^T=CECT 5729^T) as the type strain.

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rDNA sequence of strain XIL11^T is AY303668.
