Three novel strains were isolated from a soil sample collected in Japan using GPM agar plates supplemented with superoxide dismutase and/or catalase. The strains were Gram-positive, catalase-positive, irregular rod-shaped bacteria with meso-diaminopimelic acid as a peptidoglycan diagnostic diamino acid, and the acyl type of the peptidoglycan was acetyl. The major menaquinone was MK-8(H₄). Mycolic acids were not detected. The G+C content of the DNA was 72–73 mol%. On the basis of morphological and chemotaxonomic properties and a phylogenetic analysis using 16S rRNA gene sequences, these strains were classified as a novel genus and species, Oryzihumus leptocrescens gen. nov., sp. nov., in the family Intrasporangiaceae of the order Actinomycetales. The type strain is KV-628^T (=NRRL B-24347^T=JCM 12835^T=NBRC 100762^T).

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession numbers for the 16S rRNA gene sequences of Oryzihumus leptocrescens KV-628^T, KV-641 and KV-656 are AB193172, AB193173 and AB193174, respectively.
