Abstract

A family within the order Acidimicrobiales embraces the genera Iamia and Ilumatobacter. Members of the family are defined by a wide range of morphological and chemotaxonomic properties, such as isoprenoid menaquinones, fatty acids, amino acids of peptidoglycan and whole cell sugars, which are used for the delineation of genera and species. Members of the family are mainly found in marine environments, but they have been isolated from soils, activated sludge.
