Strain Gsoil 098T, a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, non-motile coccus, was isolated from soil from a ginseng field in South Korea and characterized in order to determine its taxonomic position. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain Gsoil 098T belongs to the family Nocardioidaceae, and the highest degrees of sequence similarity were found with Aeromicrobium marinum T2T (99.0 %), A. panaciterrae Gsoil 161T (98.9 %), A. alkaliterrae KSL-107T (98.4 %), A. fastidiosum KCTC 9576T (98.1 %) and A. erythreum NRRL B-3381T (97.5 %). Chemotaxonomic analysis revealed that strain Gsoil 098T possesses menaquinone MK-9(H4) and predominant fatty acids C16 : 0, 10-methyl C18 : 0 and C18 : 0. DNA–DNA hybridization results and physiological and biochemical tests clearly demonstrated that strain Gsoil 098T represents a distinct species. Based on these data, Gsoil 098T (=KCTC 19207T =JCM 14732T =GBS 39T) should be classified as the type strain of a novel Aeromicrobium species, for which the name Aeromicrobium ginsengisoli sp. nov. is proposed.

Abbreviations: TBSA, tuberculostearic acid

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession number for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain Gsoil 098T is AB245394.
