An actinomycete, designated strain E71^T, was isolated from the stem of Sambucus adnata Wall, a Chinese medicinal plant, and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. Phylogenetic analyses based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that the organism was a member of the genus Glycomyces, and formed a distinct phyletic line distantly related to recognized species of the genus Glycomyces. Morphological and chemotaxonomic data supported the affiliation of strain E71^T to the genus Glycomyces. A number of physiological properties and a unique menaquinone profile allowed differentiation of the strain from related Glycomyces species. It is therefore proposed that strain E71^T represents a novel species of the genus Glycomyces, for which the name Glycomyces sambucus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is E71^T (=CGMCC 4.3147^T=DSM 45047^T).

A scanning electron micrograph of cells of strain E71^T and tables detailing the fatty acid content and menaquinone profile of strain E71^T and related species of the genus Glycomyces are available with the online version of this paper.
