The taxonomic positions of two novel strains isolated from a soil sample collected in Japan using Glucose-Peptone-Meat extract (GPM) agar plates supplemented with superoxide dismutase or superoxide dismutase plus catalase were investigated based on the results of chemotaxonomic, phenotypic and genotypic characteristics. Strains were Gram-positive, catalase-positive, non-motile bacteria with L-ornithine as a diagnostic diamino acid of the peptidoglycan. The acyl type of the peptidoglycan was N-glycolyl. The major menaquinones were MK-12 and 13. Mycolic acids were not detected. The G+C content of the DNA was 70 mol%. Comparative 16S rRNA studies on the two isolated strains revealed that they belong to the genus Microbacterium. DNA-DNA relatedness data revealed that KV-448^T and KV-769 are a new species of the genus Microbacterium. From these results, we propose that these bacteria should be classified in the genus Microbacterium as Microbacterium terricolae sp. nov. The type strain of Microbacterium terricolae is KV-448^T (=NRRL B-24468^T, NBRC 101801^T).
