The species was isolated from a soil sample collected in Santorini, Greece. Whole-genome sequencing revealed a degree of similarity with Actinomadura macra, but further phenotypic and chemotaxonomic analyses confirmed that the isolate represents a novel species in the genus Actinomadura, for which the name Actinomadura graeca has been proposed.
