The Nocardiaceae are a family of aerobic, non-fastidious, high G+C, Gram-positive actinomycetes that are commonly found in soil and water. Members of this family have been isolated from Antarctic soils. Nocardiaceae present coccobacilli, filamentous or, rarely, fragmented and palisading forms, and filamentous species grow in a branching morphological pattern similar to fungal hyphae.
Malikia granosa is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped, motile bacterium with one to two polar flagella from the new genus Malikia in family Comamonadaceae. It was isolated from activated sludge of a municipal wastewater treatment plant. Colonies of M. granosa are creamy–white in color.
Neomegalonema perideroedes is a filamentous bacterium from the genus of Neomegalonema which has been isolated from activated bulking sludge from industrial wastewater in Grindsted in Denmark.
Gordonia defluvii is a Gram-positive and non-motile bacterium from the genus Gordonia which has been isolated from activated sludge foams in Australia.
Tsukamurella pseudospumae is a bacterium from the genus Tsukamurella which has been isolated from activated sludge foam from an activated sludge treatment plant in England.
Chryseomicrobium aureum is a Gram-positive, rod-shaped, aerobic non-spore-forming and non-motile bacterium from the genus of Chryseomicrobium which has been isolated from activated sludge from a herbicide-manufacturing wastewater treatment plant in Kunshan in China.
