Nocardia coeliaca, Nocardia autotrophica, and the Nocardin Strain
TLDR
The characteristics of 27 mislabeled strains are presented and their close relationship to the type strain of N. autotrophica (Takamiya and Tubaki) Hirsch is demonstrated.Abstract:
Gray and Thornton's strain (ATCC 17041) of Mycobacterium coeliacum, here designated as the type strain of this species (which was later transferred to the genus Nocardia as Nocardia coeliaca), is a strain of M. rhodochrous (tentative generic assignment). The strain producing the antibiotic nocardin and similar strains, however, have been mistakenly labeled N. coeliaca. This report presents some of the characteristics of 27 of these mislabeled strains and demonstrates their close relationship to the type strain of N. autotrophica (Takamiya and Tubaki) Hirsch. The nocardin-producing strain and others like it are, therefore, assigned to N. autotrophica.read more

Agrococcus jenensis gen. nov., sp. nov., a new genus of actinomycetes with diaminobutyric acid in the cell wall.
TL;DR: Two strains of a new gram-positive coryneform bacterium isolated from soil and from a sandstone surface are described and it is revealed that this strain represents a new genus belonging to the group of actinomycetes that have diaminobutyric acid in their peptidoglycans.

Two New Genera of Nocardioform Actinomycetes: Amycolata gen. nov. and Amycolatopsis gen. nov.
TL;DR: Two new genera, Amycolata and Amycolatopsis, are proposed, to accommodate nocardioform actinomycetes having type IV cell wall composition and lacking mycolic acids, which are distinguished from each other by phospholipid and menaquinone composition and phage sensitivity.

Demetria terragena gen. nov., sp. nov., a New Genus of Actinomycetes Isolated from Compost Soil
TL;DR: It is suggested that strain HKI 0089 should be classified in a new genus and species, for which the name Demetria terragena is proposed, on the basis of the results of taxonomically and phylogenetically studied.

TL;DR: In this paper, whole-cell hydrolysates from 58 strains of nocardiae and streptomycetes were prepared from 58 morphological variants of the same strains and the results showed that meso-diaminopimelic acid was a major constituent of cultures of Nocardia spp.
