An actinomycete, designated strain YIM 56134^T, was isolated from the root of a Chinese medicinal plant, Carex baccans Nees, collected from Yunnan, south-west China, and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. An analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities showed that strain YIM 56134^T was a member of the genus Glycomyces, being most closely related to Glycomyces algeriensis NRRL B-16327^T (99.0 % similarity), Glycomyces lechevalierae DSM 44724^T (99.0 %), Glycomyces rutgersensis IFO 14488^T (98.9 %) and Glycomyces harbinensis IFO 14487^T (98.7 %). Strain YIM 56134^T could be distinguished from other established Glycomyces species on the basis of relatively low sequence similarity (<97 %). Phenotypic and chemotaxonomic data supported the affiliation of this strain to the genus Glycomyces. The results of DNA–DNA hybridization and some physiological and biochemical tests allowed differentiation of the strain from related Glycomyces species. Therefore, strain YIM 56134^T represents a novel species of the genus Glycomyces, for which the name Glycomyces endophyticus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YIM 56134^T (=KCTC 19152^T =DSM 45002^T).

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain YIM 56134^T is EU200681.

Menaquinone and fatty acid profiles of strain YIM 56134^T and related Glycomyces type strains and an electron micrograph of aerial mycelium of strain YIM 56134^T are available as supplementary material with the online version of this paper.
