The taxonomic position of seven soil actinomycetes provisionally assigned to the genus Amycolatopsis was established in a polyphasic study. The isolates, which had identical 16S rRNA gene sequences, had closest similarity to the type strain of Amycolatopsis orientalis. A representative isolate, strain GY080T, had chemotaxonomic properties that were typical of the genus Amycolatopsis and could be distinguished from the type strain of A. orientalis using DNA–DNA relatedness data. All of the isolates shared a phenotypic profile that distinguished them from representatives of phylogenetically closely related species. Amplified rDNA restriction analysis showed that the isolates formed a homogeneous group that was distinctly separate from single-membered groups consisting of representative Amycolatopsis type strains, including that of A. orientalis. Based on the combined genotypic and phenotypic evidence, it is proposed that the seven isolates be classified as representatives of a novel species for which the name Amycolatopsis regifaucium sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is GY080T (=DSM 45072T =NCIMB 14277T).

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession numbers for the 16S rRNA gene sequences of strains GY080T, GY091, GY246, GY248, GY249, GY250 and GY293 are AY129760, AY129761, AY129766, AY129768, AY129767, AY129763 and AY129769, respectively.

A consensus dendrogram showing relationships between the A. regifaucium isolates and A. orientalis based on SJ-UPGMA analysis of restriction endonuclease-generated fingerprints and an extended 16S rRNA gene sequence-based neighbour-joining tree are available as supplementary material with the online version of this paper.
