Actinobacteria / Actinobacteria / Micrococcales / Beutenbergiaceae / Miniimonas

Cells are irregular rods 0.6 × 3.1 µm) and cocci (1.0–1.7 µm). Gram-stain-positive, not acid-fast. Endospores are not formed. Nonmotile. Facultatively anaerobic. Good growth on complex organic media at 28–30°C. NaCl in the culture medium may be tolerated up to 5%. Oxidase-negative, catalase-positive. The peptidoglycan type is A4β based on L-ornithine. The acyl type is acetyl. Whole cell sugars are glucose, xylose, and ribose. The predominant menaquinone is MK-8(H₄ ). The polar lipids consist of phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, and one unknown phospholipid. The cellular fatty acid profile is dominated by the occurrence of iso- and anteiso-branched-chain acids. Mycolic acids are absent. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities, the genus is closely related the other genera of the family Beutenbergiaceae (96.3–97.3%).

DNA G+C content (mol%): 74.2 (HPLC).

Type species: Miniimonas arenae Ue, Matsuo, Kasai and Yokota 2011, 125^VP.
