Actinopolymorpha is a genus in the phylum Actinomycetota (Bacteria). ^[1]

Etymology

The name Actinopolymorpha derives from:
Greek noun aktis, aktinos (ἀκτίς, ἀκτῖνος); Greek adjective polumorphos, multiform, manifold; Neo-Latin feminine gender noun (Neo-Latin feminine gender adjective used as a substantive) Actinopolymorpha, actinomycete of many shapes. ^[2]

Species

The genus contains four species, namely ^[2]

• A. alba Cao et al. 2009 (Latin feminine gender adjective alba, white, referring to the white substrate mycelium.) ^[3]
• A. cephalotaxi Yuan et al. 2010 (Neo-Latin genitive case noun cephalotaxi, of Cephalotaxus, isolated from Cephalotaxus fortunei from which the rhizosphere soil sample was collected.) ^[4]
• A. pittospori Kaewkla and Franco 2011
• A. rutila Wang et al. 2008 (Latin feminine gender adjective rutila, red inclining to golden-yellow, referring to the colour of colonies produced.) ^[5]
• A. singaporensis Wang et al. 2001 (Neo-Latin feminine gender adjective singaporensis, of or belonging to Singapore, signifying the country where the type strain was isolated.) ^[6]
