Strain XLG9A10.2^T was isolated from an alkaline salt marsh soil in western China. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain XLG9A10.2^T constitutes a distinct lineage within the family Promicromonosporaceae, sharing 94·8–95·1 % gene similarity with members of the genus Promicromonospora and 94·4–95·7 % similarity with those of Xylanimonas and related genera. The general colony and cell morphology of strain XLG9A10.2^T is similar to that of members of Promicromonospora, but differs from members of the genus Xylanimonas in forming a well-developed branching mycelium and production of coccoid spores. Strain XLG9A10.2^T shows the peptidoglycan type A4 (L-lysL-thrD-Glu), contains glucose, mannose and galactose as whole cell sugars and has MK-9(H₄) and MK-9(H₆) as major menaquinones, while phospholipids are phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, three unidentified phospholipids and one unidentified glycolipid. The DNA base composition is 71·9 mol% G+C. On the basis of morphological, chemotaxonomic, metabolic and phylogenetic differences from other species of Promicromonosporaceae, a new genus and species, Myceligenerans xiligouense gen. nov., sp. nov., is proposed. The type strain is XLG9A10.2^T (=DSM 15700^T=CGMCC 1.3458^T.)

Additional images showing the morphology of M. xiligouense are available in IJSEM Online.
