Mycobacterium monacense
Etymology: monacense, from Monacum, the Latin name of the German city Munich where the first strain was isolated.
It is yellow-pigmented, non-photochromogenic and grows in less than a week on solid medium. Phylogenetic analysis has shown that this strain is most closely related to Mycobacterium doricum[1]
Description

Type strain
Strain B9-21-178 = CIP 109237 = DSM 44395.
