Intrasporangiaceae is an actinomycete family. The family is named after the type genus Intrasporangium . The type species of Intrasporangium ( I. calvum ) was originally thought to form endospores; however, the mycelium of this strain may bear intercalary vesicles that were originally identified as spores. [3] No members of Intrasporangiaceae are known to form spores.
The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature [2] and the phylogeny is based on whole-genome sequences. [4] [a]
