An actinomycete strain VN05A0561^T was isolated from plant litter collected at Ba Be National Park, Vietnam. The substrate mycelia and spore chains were fragmented as 'nocardioform' actinomycetes, the spores had smooth surfaces and were rod-shaped. The chemotaxonomic characteristics of strain VN05A0561^T were as follows: meso-diaminopimelic acid in peptidoglycan, arabinose and galactose as characteristic sugars, MK-8(H₄) as major isoprenoid quinone, phosphatidylcholine as diagnostic phospholipid, and iso-C_16:0 as major cellular fatty acid. Strain VN05A0561^T shared low 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities (<97%) with validly described Pseudonocardia species, and was phenotypically different from the closely related species. These results suggested that strain VN05A0561^T represents a novel species of the genus Pseudonocardia, and the name Pseudonocardia babensis sp. nov. is proposed for the strain. The type strain is VN05A0561^T (=VTCC-A-1757^T =NBRC 105793^T).
