Actinobacteria / Actinobacteria / Streptosporangiales / Streptosporangiaceae / Nonomuraea

Aerobic, Gram-stain-positive, non-acid-fast bacteria that form extensively branched substrate and aerial mycelia. Aerial mycelia bear chains of spores which are hooked, spiral, or straight. The spore surface can be folded, irregular, smooth, or warty. Growth temperature ranges from 20–45°C, in some cases up to 55°C. Cell walls contain meso-diaminopimelic and whole-cell hydrolysates contain madurose as the diagnostic sugar. Contains diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, hydroxylated phosphatidylethanolamine, and ninhydrin and sugar positive phospholipids as predominant phospholipids. Major menaquinones are MK-9(H₄), MK-9(H₂), and MK-9(H₀). Major types of fatty acids are C₁₇ 10-methyl and C₁₆ iso-branched fatty acids.

DNA G+C content (mol%): 64–73.

Type species: Nonomuraea pusilla corrig. (Nonomura and Ohara 1971a) Zhang, Wang and Ruan 1998b, 419 (Actinomadura pusilla Nonomura and Ohara 1971a, 909).
