Journal ArticleDOI

Dispelling the "Nocardia amarae" myth: a phylogenetic and phenotypic study of mycolic acid-containing actinomycetes isolated from activated sludge foam

TL;DR: The results of this study highlight the limitations of the microscopic approach to filament identification and cast further doubt on the view that foaming can be attributed to members of one or a few Nocardia species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prescottia equi gen. nov., comb. nov.: a new home for an old pathogen.

TL;DR: The R. equi taxon was readily distinguished from R. kunmingensis and from the other members of the order Corynebacteriales using a combination of genotypic, chemotypic and phenotypic properties and is considered to represent a new genus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Classification of the "Rhodochrous" Complex and Allied Taxa Based upon Deoxyribonucleic Acid Reassociation

TL;DR: The degree of binding was determined between deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) preparations from nocardiae and “rhodochrous” strains and uracil-labeled DNA from three reference strains and there was evidence that N. asteroides is genetically heterogeneous.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reclassification of Streptomyces hygroscopicus strains as Streptomyces aldersoniae sp nov., Streptomyces angustmyceticus sp nov., comb. nov., Streptomyces ascomycinicus sp nov., Streptomyces decoyicus sp nov., comb. nov., Streptomyces milbemycinicus sp nov and Streptomyces wellingtoniae sp nov

TL;DR: A polyphasic study was undertaken to determine the taxonomic status of six strains received as Streptomyces hygroscopicus, showing that all six strains form distinct centres of taxonomic variation within the genus StrePTomyces.
