Two actinomycete strains, DSA1^T and HD9^T, were isolated from a potato tuber and soil from a potato-cultivating field in Jeju, Korea, respectively. A comprehensive 16S rDNA analysis revealed that the isolates belong to the genus Kribbella and share 97·7–98·6 % sequence similarity to Kribbella species. The strains also contained typical chemotaxonomic markers of the genus Kribbella: LL-diaminopimelic acid, alanine, glycine and glutamic acid in the cell wall peptidoglycan; mannose, glucose, galactose and ribose as whole cell sugars; diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylinositol as characteristic phospholipids; and the major menaquinone MK-9 (H₄). DNA–DNA hybridization experiments showed that the isolates represented two distinct genomic species. A number of phenotypic properties can be used to differentiate the two isolates from Kribbella species. On the basis of polyphasic evidence, two novel species are proposed: Kribbella solani sp. nov. for strain DSA1^T (=KACC 20196^T=JCM 12205^T) and Kribbella jejuensis sp. nov. for strain HD9^T (=KACC 20266^T=JCM 12204^T).

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession numbers for the 16S rDNA sequences of strains KACC 20196^T, KACC 20248^T, KACC 20249^T, KACC 20250^T and KACC 20266^T are AY253862–AY253866, respectively.

An extended neighbour-joining tree and a maximum-parsimony tree for the isolates and related actinomycete taxa are available as supplementary data in IJSEM Online.
