Abstract: 

Fodinicola (Fo.di.ni'co.la. L. fem. n. fodina a pit, mine; L. suff. -cola from L. masc. or fem. n. incola dweller; N.L. masc. n. Fodinicola a mine dweller).

The genus Fodinicola is currently represented by the only species Fodinicola feengrottensis. Cells are filamentous with a branched substrate mycelium and sparse-to-abundant white aerial mycelium. The aerial hyphae break up into irregular rod-like elements. Gram-positive. Spores are not formed. Nonmotile. Aerobic metabolism. Good growth on complex organic media at 20–30°C. Oxidase-negative, catalase-positive. The cell-wall peptidoglycan contains meso-A2pm, 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 unidentified ninhydrin-positive compounds. Mycolic acids are absent. The cellular fatty acid profile is characterized by the predominance of C16:0 iso, 10-methyl C17:0, C17:1 cis9, 10-methyl C18:0 iso, and C17:0. On the basis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities, the genus is closely related to the genus Cryptosporangium and placed in the family Cryptosporangiaceae.
