The Phyllobacteriaceae are a family of bacteria. The most common genus is Mesorhizobium which contains some of the rhizobia species.
The Brucellaceae are a family of the Gram-negative Hyphomicrobiales. They are named after Sir David Bruce, a Scottish microbiologist. They are aerobic chemoorganotrophes. The family comprises pathogen and soil bacteria
The Actinomycetia are a class of bacteria.
The Acidimicrobiaceae are a family of Actinomycetota.
The Coriobacteriales are an order of Actinomycetota.
The Erysipelotrichaceae are a family of Gram-positive bacteria.
The Streptomycetaceae are a family of Actinomycetota, making up the monotypic order Streptomycetales. It includes the important genus Streptomyces. This was the original source of many antibiotics, namely streptomycin, the first antibiotic against tuberculosis.
The Actinomycetaceae are a family of bacteria in the order Actinomycetales that contains the medically important genus Actinomyces. These organisms are closely related to the mycobacteria, but were originally classified as fungi because they were thought to be transitional forms between bacteria and fungi.
The Glycomycetaceae are a family of bacteria.
The Cryptosporangiaceae are the only family of the order Cryptosporangiales, which is a part of the phylum Actinomycetota.
The Kineosporiaceae is a family of Gram positive bacteria.
Intrasporangiaceae is an actinomycete family. The family is named after the type genus Intrasporangium. The type species of Intrasporangium was originally thought to form endospores; however, the mycelium of this strain may bear intercalary vesicles that were originally identified as spores. No members of Intrasporangiaceae are known to form spores.
Promicromonosporaceae is an Actinomycete family.
Dermabacteraceae is an Actinomycetota family.
The Dermatophilaceae is a Gram-positive family of bacteria placed within the order of Actinomycetales. Dermatophilaceae bacteria occur on animal and human skin and in fish guts.
Parvibaculaceae is a family of Alphaproteobacteria.
The Streptosporangiales are an order of bacteria.
The Propionibacteriales are an order of bacteria.
The Micrococcales are an order of bacteria in the phylum Actinomycetota.
The Holophagae is a class of Acidobacteriota.
