Abstract
Since the last edition of The Prokaryotes, most microorganisms grouped in the chapter “The genus Actinoplanes and Related Genera” have been formally classified in the family Micromonosporaceae, order Micromonosporales, phylum Actinobacteria. According to the phylogenetic branching of the RaxML 16S rRNA gene tree, the members of the family represented by all type strains form well-defined clades and are related to members of the families Glycomicetaceae and Jiangellaceae. The family currently harbors 27 genera and includes microorganisms characterized by three types of sporulating structures, namely, single spores, spore chains, and sporangia which are borne directly on the substrate hyphae. Spores may be nonmotile or motile with tufts of polar flagella. They are aerobic, non-acid fast and mesophilic microorganisms. Many strains produce carotenoid mycelial pigments, giving the colonies an orange to red appearance; however blue-green, brown, or purple pigments are also produced.
Most members of the family Micromonosporaceae are characterized by a cell-wall type chemotype II. The wall peptidoglycan contains meso- and/or 3-hydroxy-diaminopimelic acid and is of the A1α type; l-lysine may also be found as a diagnostic amino acid. Except for Pilimelia especies which contain acetate, the first aino acid of the peptide chain is glycine in all members of the family. Whole-organism hydrolysates are rich in arabinose, xylose, and galactose, with variable amounts of other sugars. The organisms produce complex mixtures of saturated, iso-, and anteiso-fatty acids. Phosphatidylethanolamine is the diagnostic phospholipid (phospholipid type II).
Micromonosporaceae strains have been isolated from diverse habitats including soil, sediments, fresh and marine water, rhizosphere, and plant tissues. Many species degrade chitin, cellulose, lignin, and pectin, and these microorganisms play an important role in the turnover of organic plant material. In addition, many strains produce useful secondary metabolites and enzymes. They have important applications in industry, biotechnology, and agriculture.
