StreptoalloteichusRANK: GenusTAXONOMY: Bacteria -> Terrabacteria group -> Actinobacteria -> Actinobacteria -> Pseudonocardiales -> Pseudonocardiaceae -> Streptoalloteichus OVERVIEW: Gram-stain-positive, non-acid-fast, aerobic actinomycetes that show well-branched and non-fragmenting substrate hyphae. Aerial mycelium bears chains of five to 50 spores (0.5–1.2 µm wide) at the tip of well-branched hyphae. Sporangia-like structures are formed. The predominant menaquinones are MK-9(H6) and MK-10(H6). The cell-wall peptidoglycan contains a major amount of meso-diaminopimelic acid. The predominant cellular fatty acids are C15:0 iso and C17:0 anteiso. Wholecell hydrolysates contain d-galactose and d-mannose, whereas l-rhamnose and d-glucose are variably present. Phosphatidylethanolamine is present as the diagnostic phospholipid (phospholipid pattern type PII). Habitat: soil. DNA G+C content (mol%): Not known. Type species: Streptoalloteichus hindustanus |
