Two novel yellow-pigmented, rod-shaped and non-motile coryneform actinobacteria, strains VKM Ac-2596T and VKM Ac-2761, were isolated from a plant Tanacetum vulgare (Asteraceae) infested by foliar nematode Aphelenchoides sp. The strains exhibited the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities to Rathayibacter agropyri CA4T (99.71%), Rathayibacter rathayi DSM 7485T (99.65%) and Rathayibacter iranicus VKM Ac-1602T (99.65%). The pairwise average nucleotide identity (ANI) and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) values between VKM Ac-2596T and VKM Ac-2671 towards the type strains of Rathayibacter species did not exceed 85...
