A novel strictly aerobic, heterotrophic, mesophilic bacterium, strain Mb8(T), was isolated from soil in Sapporo City, Hokkaido, Japan. The G+C content of strain Mb8(T) was 66.0 mol%. It had mycolic acids with 44-52 carbon atoms and C16 : 0 and C18 : 1 (9) as the major fatty acids. The major isoprenoid quinone was MK-8(H(2)). The cell wall contained meso-diaminopimelic acid, arabinose and galactose. 16S rDNA, chemotaxonomic and morphological data indicated that this strain clearly belonged to the genus RHODOCOCCUS: Based on phenotypic properties and DNA-DNA hybridization data, strain Mb8(T) (=JCM 11308(T)=NCIMB 13903(T)) has been assigned to the genus Rhodococcus as the type strain of Rhodococcus tukisamuensis sp. nov.

A novel actinobacterium, designated strain NEAU-ML12(T), was isolated from a millipede (Kronopolites svenhedind Verhoeff), which was collected from Fenghuang Mountain in Wuchang, Heilongjiang Province, north China. The strain was characterized using a polyphasic approach. Strain NEAU-ML12(T) was found to have morphological and chemotaxonomic characteristics typical of the members of the genus Rhodococcus.
