Ornithinimicrobiaceae is a family of bacteria. It was created in 2018 after a large genome-based study of the Actinobacteria. [1]
The Actinomycetota are a diverse phylum of Gram-positive bacteria with high G+C content. They can be terrestrial or aquatic. They are of great economic importance to humans because agriculture and forests depend on their contributions to soil systems. In soil they help to decompose the organic matter of dead organisms so the molecules can be taken up anew by plants. While this role is also played by fungi, Actinomycetota are much smaller and likely do not occupy the same ecological niche. In this role the colonies often grow extensive mycelia, like a fungus would, and the name of an important order of the phylum, Actinomycetales, reflects that they were long believed to be fungi. Some soil actinomycetota live symbiotically with the plants whose roots pervade the soil, fixing nitrogen for the plants in exchange for access to some of the plant's saccharides. Other species, such as many members of the genus Mycobacterium, are important pathogens.
The Actinomycetia are a class of bacteria.
The Bifidobacteriaceae are the only family of bacteria in the order Bifidobacteriales. According to the 16S rRNA-based LTP release 106 published by 'The All-Species Living Tree' Project, the order Bifidobacteriales is a clade nested within the suborder Micrococcineae, also the genus Bifidobacterium is paraphyletic to the other genera within the family, i.e. the other genera are nested within Bifidobacterium.
The Coriobacteriales are an order of Actinomycetota.
The Coriobacteriaceae is a family of Actinomycetota. The family Coriobacteriaceae has been shown to increase significantly in the ceca of mice in response to stress.
Streptomycetaceae is a family of the class 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 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.
"Tropheryma whipplei" is a bacterium that is the causative organism of Whipple's disease, and rarely, endocarditis.
The Acidimicrobiia are a class of Actinomycetota, in which three families, eight genera, and nine species have been described, Acidimicrobium ferrooxidans is the type species of the order.
The Coriobacteriia are a class of Gram-positive bacteria within the Actinomycetota phylum. Species within this group are nonsporulating, strict or facultative anaerobes that are capable of thriving in a diverse set of ecological niches. Gordonibacter species are the only members capable of motility by means of flagella within the class. Several species within the Coriobacteriia class have been implicated with human diseases that range in severity. Atopobium, Olsenella, and Cryptobacterium species have responsible for human oral infections including periodontitis, halitosis, and other endodontic infections. Eggerthella species have been associated with severe blood bacteraemia and ulcerative colitis.
Serinicoccus is a Gram-positive, strictly aerobic and moderately halophilic bacterial genus from the family Ornithinimicrobiaceae. The genus was formerly in the family Intrasporangiaceae, but later genomic data caused it to be reclassified in 2018.
Ornithinimicrobium is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming and non-motile bacterial genus from the family Ornithinimicrobiaceae. The genus was formerly in the family Intrasporangiaceae, but later genomic data caused it to be reclassified in 2018.
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.
The Mycobacteriales are an order of bacteria. The current description is genome-based, per Gupta 2019 emendation. Most members produce mycolic acids.
The Micrococcales are an order of bacteria in the phylum Actinomycetota.
