Introduction

Some members of the order of Actinomycetales were already identified about a century ago (for review, see Kutzner, 1981). The current phylogenetic tree includes Bifidobacteriaceae, Actinomycetaceae, Arthrobacteriaceae, Cellulomonadaceae, Microbacteriaceae, Dermathophylaceae, Propionobacteriaceae, Nocardioidaceae, Frankiaceae, Corynebacteriaceae, Mycobacteriaceae, Nocardiaceae, Actinoplanaceae, Pseudonocardiaceae, Streptomycetaceae and Streptosporangiaceae.

The family Streptomycetaceae includes the genus Streptomyces, which comprises strains formerly classified as Chania, Elytrosporangium, Kitasatoa, Kitasosporia, Actinosporangium and Streptoverticillium. All members of the Streptomycetaceae family have a complex life cycle, featuring an extended vegetative substrate mycelium and aerial hyphae, in which spores form upon depletion of nutrients. They contain specific menaquinones, incorporate LL-diaminopimelic acid (a diagnostic amino acid) into their peptidoglycan, but lack...
