Fodinicola Carlsohn et al. 2008
General information
Description and emendation
Gram-positive, aerobic, non-motile, catalase-positive, oxidase-negative actinomycetes that form branched substrate mycelium and sparse to abundant, white aerial mycelium. The aerial hyphae break up into irregular rod-like elements. The cell-wall peptidoglycan contains meso-A 2pm, alanine, glycine and glutamic acid. The muramic acid in the peptidoglycan is N-acetylated. The cell-wall sugars are xylose and minor amounts of an unknown compound. The predominant menaquinones are MK-9(H4), MK-9(H6) and MK-9(H8). The polar lipids comprise diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylinositol and several unknown phospholipids and glycolipids together with unknown ninhydrin-positive compounds. Mycolic acids are absent. The cellular fatty acid profile is characterized by the predominance of iso-C16:0, 10-methyl C17:0, C17:1 cis9, 10-methyl iso-C18:0 and C17:0. The G+C content of the genomic DNA of the type species is 65 mol%.
