A pyrene-degrading isolate, strain PYX-6^T, was obtained from Tianchi Lake, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, China, and was identified by means of polyphasic taxonomy. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, strain PYX-6^T was closely related to members of the genus Saccharothrix. Its 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to each of Saccharothrix syringae, Saccharothrix australiensis, Saccharothrix algeriensis and Saccharothrix coeruleofusca was 98 %. Chemotaxonomic and physiological properties of strain PYX-6^T further supported its affiliation to the genus Saccharothrix. DNA–DNA hybridization results and physiological and biochemical tests allowed genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of strain PYX-6^T from recognized Saccharothrix species. Therefore, strain PYX-6^T represents a novel species, for which the name Saccharothrix xinjiangensis sp. nov. is proposed, with type strain PYX-6^T (=AS 4.1731^T=JCM 12329^T).

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain PYX-6^T is AY135693.
