An oval spore-forming actinomycete, designated 2701SIM06 T , was isolated from mangrove soil in Sanya, Hainan province, China. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain 2701SIM06 T showed highest similarity to Micromonospora pattaloongensis TJ2-2 T (98.6 %), Micromonospora polyrhachis NEAU-ycm2 T (98.6 %) and Micromonospora sonneratiae 274745 T (98.5 %). Phylogenetic analysis based on both the 16S rRNA gene and the gyrB gene supported this relationship. The chemotaxonomic results confirmed the isolate as a member of the genus Micromonospora , but morphological, physiological and biochemical properties differentiated it from its closest relatives. Based on these observations, strain 2701SIM06 T represents a novel species, for which the name Micromonospora ovatispora sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 2701SIM06 T ( = CCTCC AA 2012009 T = DSM 45759 T ).
