Strain KV-657^T was isolated from a paddy field soil sample collected in Japan using GPM agar plates supplemented with catalase. The strain was a Gram-positive, aerobic organism that formed branching hyphae with LL-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic peptidoglycan diamino acid. The major menaquinone was MK-8(H₄). Mycolic acids were not detected. The G+C content of the DNA was 70 mol%. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that this strain is closely related to Intrasporangium calvum DSM 43043^T, with a similarity of 97.6 %. Based on the morphological, biochemical and chemotaxonomic properties of this strain and phylogenetic analysis, it was concluded that this isolate represents a new genus and species in the family Intrasporangiaceae, for which the name Humihabitans oryzae gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Humihabitans oryzae is KV-657^T (=NRRL B-24470^T =NBRC 101802^T).

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain KV-657^T is AB282887.

Scanning electron micrographs of cells of strain KV-657^T and HPLC traces from menaquinone analysis of the novel strain and I. calvum NBRC 12989^T are available as supplementary material with the online version of this paper.
